Add additional language about data usage #2973

Open mxbclang opened 3 years ago

mxbclang commented 3 years ago

Feature Description

An increasing number of one-star reviews of the plugin mention it being used to collect data about users in seemingly nefarious ways:

We do have the checkbox and related language at setup for opt-in anonymous data, but it would be great to add some language somewhere that clarifies what the Google connection is used for, what is stored and how, and indicates that no additional data is being collected outside of what is required to power the service connections.

Thanks for raising @bethanylang! Do you or the rest of the support team have any suggestions on where to place this so we're clear people might actually see it?

@marrrmarrr I'm thinking in the setup flow? Somewhere that everyone sees it as soon as possible after installing/configuring the plugin.
