As our CTO, Pedro, discussed in his blog post (https://blog.1password.com/privacy-preserving-app-telemetry/), we have only rolled out telemetry to our employee base. We will be analyzing the results of this internal-only roll-out before implementing this functionality more broadly.

This functionality will have a prominent in-app message that will ask Individual and Family account users to choose whether they prefer to keep telemetry on or off their account. Nothing gets collected until they’ve made this choice, and users will be able to change their preferences whenever they would like.

Does the choice for "Track My Activity" look like a "Continue" or "Next" button? Respectfully, it sounds like you're trying really hard to not actually say it's going to be opt-out.

The designs for what the screen will look like have not been completed yet. I couldn't say exactly what the language will be. From what I've seen thus far it will be clear that there is a choice to be made, but the default selection will be to enable telemetry.

Here is a draft of what we're considering: https://bucket.agilebits.com/ben/telemetry-consent-draft.png

Does that help clarify what the experience will be?

So it's effectively opt-in then? It strikes me as odd that this wasn't clearly communicated in the blog post, and even more odd that phrasing like "At that point, we’ll also provide guidance on how you can opt out if you’d like to" was used.

It sounds pretty clear it's not opt-in. They'd just say so if it was.
