 Thank you for taking the time to clarify matters for the ticket and at the
 very least explain the 'why' part.

 As already indicated in the sentiments above however, the greater issue of
 data privacy still exists and being able to explain what data are
 collected, what for and why is now a little too late to the discussion.
 Privacy needs to be addressed in full consideration of pertinent laws and
 users wishes and I'd suggest this is one area where the wishes of the
 minority need to be heard - this isn't going to go away.
