[QGIS-Developer] Collecting Anonymous Plugin Usage Data

[Abdul Raheem Siddiqui]

Hello fellow developers,

I would like to ask if there are any guidance or restrictions about
collecting anonymous plugin usage data i.e. 1) Time 2) Bounding Box & 3)
Algorithm Name at every use of a plugin. There will be a disclaimer in T&C
that tells users that this data is collected.

Here is how it works:
Users install the plugin and whenever they use one of its algorithms it
sends a request to an API with 1) Time 2) Bounding Box WKT provided to the
algorithm & 3) Algorithm Name. If the request fails, the algorithm will
still continue and produce results.

The plugin is scientific in nature and this will give us stats on what
algorithm is being used in what geographic areas.

Thanks,

Abdul Raheem Siddiqui
