Comment (by robscott):

 Where api.wordpress.org is collecting core telemetry:

 1) who controls the data?
 2) where is the data stored?
 3) who has access to the data?
 4) when is the data destroyed?

 I did find this answer, but the stance taken maybe requires some amendment
 since 2009:

 17th-dev-ch/#comment-1042

 These issues don't concern me overly - never have - but bearing in mind
 what GDPR is and what it is for; perhaps returning to the answers given
 back then in light of today's regulatory framework may be a helpful place
 to start.
