Make studies contingent on user consent #5

Closed jonathanmayer closed 4 years ago

jonathanmayer commented 4 years ago

One way to handle this would be support for listeners in the Consent module. For example, a study module could register a listener for consent state changes, and then start data collection if the user consents or stop data collection and delete data if the user withdraws consent.

In future we might also want to send a Telemetry event noting that the user has withdrawn consent, so we can delete their data on the backend.
