Comment (by robscott):

 @DavidAnderson I tend to agree. I think its pretty clear that as a package
 this telemetry is personal data as defined by the GDPR - but it is
 necessary to make the distinction, because we are building a system here.

 I guess I should explain a bit what I am thinking: maybe an option, in
 WordPress might say "this is a personal website | business website". A
 business website - this never applies. Go for your life. Collect and store
 away... well, actually, not in my view (I say why not be transparent about
 this anyway, regardless of the legal case?!).

 A personal website - that is when the IP and URL etc become... well
 problematic. By problematic, I think, yes its personal data. So we'd need
 to know where its being stored, and by whom, etc etc.

 But probably, regardless of which framework we are applying, I'd like to
 know this anyway. It should not be a mystery.
