<p dir="auto">Hello,</p>
<p dir="auto">I found out that Atom collects analytic data to improve the program. There is nothing bad about this idea. But I think, it would be a better way to ask the user to Opt-In this analytics.</p>
<p dir="auto">Currently, the user has to disable the metrics plugin (= do an Opt-Out), but I think there should be at least a clear information at the first run to tell the user that data is collected and if he/ she wants to allow the collection of this data.</p>
<p dir="auto">Otherwise, this situation could cause maybe sooner or later problems in countries with stricter data privacy laws, e. g. Germany. And nobody wants that.</p>
<p dir="auto">Please correct me if I just over read an info about this topic or this issue is a duplicate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Kind regards<br>

<p dir="auto">That's one long line that's been broken up according to something I don't understand, and I'm going to end of line (cmd-rightarrow) and hitting delete.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you're wondering, the text is copy/pasted from my friend Sommer Gentry's thesis, which I happen to have on my computer in PDF format.</p>
