If the statistics are not super sensitive, set up a specific SSH key pair,
with no pass phrase, but limit that key in
destination:.ssh/authorized_keys to only have permission to run the stats
gathering process. Standard file permissions will protect that key from
theft on your local system.
If that isn't secure enough for you, use SSH agent to collect your
passphrase, and then later run the stats collection process in that
shell's environment.
