<h1>Usage Data Collector Terms of Use</h1>
|
|
|
22 |
<p>This document describes
|
|
|
23 |
how the Eclipse Foundation will treat the data provided by
|
|
|
24 |
individuals and organizations through the Eclipse Usage Collector.
|
|
|
25 |
</p>
|
|
|
26 |
<ul>
|
|
|
27 |
<li>A unique id is
|
|
|
28 |
generated for every workstation (or Eclipse workspace) that submits
|
|
|
29 |
data using the Usage Data Collector. This session id is transmitted every
|
|
|
30 |
time data is sent to the Eclipse Foundation.</li>
|
|
|
31 |
<li>The Eclipse
|
|
|
32 |
Foundation does not intend for the Usage Data Collector to collect
|
|
|
33 |
information that can uniquely identify you as an individual.
|
|
|
34 |
However, it may inadvertently collect information that is included
|
|
|
35 |
in plug-in names, which information may identify an individual or
|
|
|
36 |
organization. </li>
|
|
|
37 |
<li>The data that is
|
|
|
38 |
being collected relates to how you are using Eclipse and any
|
|
|
39 |
third-party plug-ins that you have added to your Eclipse workspace.
|
|
|
40 |
This includes, but is not limited to, information on plug-in names,
|
|
|
41 |
version numbers, length of time spent in a specific editor/view or
|
|
|
42 |
perspective, actions and commands that you invoked, etc. You can
|
|
|
43 |
imagine it to be similar to "click stream" data that is
|
|
|
44 |
collected at certain web sites.</li>
|
|
|
45 |
<li>The Usage Data Collector
|
|
|
46 |
may collect and transmit the country where you are located. You
|
|
|
47 |
may also optionally specify general demographic information.
|
|
|
48 |
</li>
|
|
|
49 |
</ul>
|
|
|
50 |
<h2>Uses of the Information</h2>
|
|
|
51 |
<ul>
|
|
|
52 |
<li>The Eclipse
|
|
|
53 |
Foundation may, in its sole discretion, make available to
|
|
|
54 |
organizations and individuals, on a case-by case-basis, the data
|
|
|
55 |
that it collects through the Usage Data Collector, whether in raw or
|
|
|
56 |
aggregated form.
|
|
|
57 |
</li>
|
|
|
58 |
<li>The Eclipse
|
|
|
59 |
Foundation will publish summary reports based on the data obtained.
|
|
|
60 |
These reports will be made available in machine readable format that
|
|
|
61 |
will allow individuals and organizations to undertake further
|
|
|
62 |
analysis.</li>
|
|
|
63 |
<li>Potential uses of
|
|
|
64 |
the summary reports may include, but not limited to: 1) Eclipse
|
|
|
65 |
project committers who want to better understand how individuals are
|
|
|
66 |
using their projects, 2) usage of Eclipse projects and third-party
|
|
|
67 |
Eclipse plug-ins, and 3) an estimate to the number of individuals
|
|
|
68 |
using Eclipse. It is expected that the summary reports and raw data
|
|
|
69 |
may be used for other purposes that we have not envisioned at this
|
|
|
70 |
point in time.</li>
|
|
|
71 |
</ul>
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
73 |
<h2>Interactions with
|
|
|
74 |
the Usage Data Collector</h2>
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
<ul>
|
|
|
77 |
<li>With your
|
|
|
78 |
permission, the Usage Data Collector will periodically transmit your usage
|
|
|
79 |
data to the Eclipse Foundation. The first time it attempts to
|
|
|
80 |
transmit the data, you will be requested to grant permission of
|
|
|
81 |
transmission. If you decline the request, the Usage Data Collector will
|
|
|
82 |
stop functioning, until you decide to re-enable it. If you grant
|
|
|
83 |
permission, you will have the option of allowing the Usage Data Collector
|
|
|
84 |
to automatically transmit data without further interaction or to
|
|
|
85 |
request your permission each time it attempts to transmit data.</li>
|
|
|
86 |
<li>You can choose to
|
|
|
87 |
limit the range of plug-ins on which the Usage Data Collector collects
|
|
|
88 |
information. You may limit the list of plug-ins to be only those
|
|
|
89 |
that are provided by the Eclipse Foundation. In addition, you may
|
|
|
90 |
exclude plug-ins that include a specific text string in their name.
|
|
|
91 |
To limit the range of plug-in, go to the "Usage Data Collection | Preview"
|
|
|
92 |
page in the workspace preferences and add one or more filters.</li>
|
|
|
93 |
<li> At anytime, you
|
|
|
94 |
may view the data that is being collected. To view your current
|
|
|
95 |
information, go to the
|
|
|
96 |
"Usage Data Collection | Preview" preferences page.</li>
|
|
|
97 |
<li>After providing
|
|
|
98 |
your initial permission, you may discontinue use of the Usage
|
|
|
99 |
Monitor by turning off the "Enable Capture" checkbox
|
|
|
100 |
on the "Usage Data Collection" preferences page.</li>
|
|
|
101 |
</ul>
