[decisiveness]

Unfortunately, "We were told the reason to track...is for fraud", does not make me very confident what you believe to be true is really true. And makes me even less confident considering your assertion that "nothing nefarious is going on. If there was, we the engineers would be against it completely." If your knowledge of what ultimately happens with the data relies merely on what you are told, how can it be possible for you to know nothing nefarious is going on?

I was more hoping you'd try to answer the part that addressed the "While Using" option being removed. I'm guessing that one might also be too difficult to answer honestly in a public forum?
