Right; 100% agreed. My original idea was to store one thing with the distributor: * The hashed IP (i.e. you can go from IP->id, but not id->IP) and the application id (the .desktop name) that was installed or removed. So sent over the wire would be the IP address (as if visiting a website) and something like gimp.desktop and stored on the server would be some kind of hash (e.g. SHA256) and a counter for gimp.desktop. The only thing we can get from this webservice as a user is: * The number of people who installed gimp.desktop and the number of people who uninstalled it * A list of applications that were installed or removed across all users The only thing (assuming the distro is *not* evil) the people maintaining the database can see is the SHA256 hash and the application count.
