Hi everyone, I've checked again regarding your concerns and have the following information on the telemetry domain.

 

Using our Telemetry alias, we do not gather any data that is related to GDPR. The data gathered through this alias is user and device agnostic. This alias primarily reports error logs to our team to better improve our product.
 
Our privacy terms and conditions has more information on what and why we collect certain data. You can view that information on this page.

Cheers,

Gary
