 Cross posting this information from another ticket, if you haven't seen
 that one: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16778#comment:96

 > Then there are the examples of other projects dealing with the issue
 differently (better):
 > Ghost - https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/3064 (issue where this
 was discussed) and
 https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/blob/master/PRIVACY.md (current version
 of the documentation)
 > npm - https://github.com/npm/policies/blob/master/privacy.md
 > piwik - https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/6196
 >
 > Not only that, Ghost offers the ability to turn off updates / gravatars
 / google fonts, etc, because each and every one of them are leaking
 personally identifiable information (no, I'm not interested in debating
 how that information is personally identifiable, that's been established
 in other tickets / in blog posts, etc).
