Yep, agreed.

"my data" but rather Tor network data.
Ah, interesting point.
The reason why the document says "you" and "me" is that it's basically the
transcription of an imaginary conversation I had with dgoulet or ahf or
teor or you. And of course I didn't mean "your data" as in "juga's data",
but I think you didn't mean that either.
The decision how to refer to the tool providing data is an important one.
I wanted to make clear that Tor Metrics does not suddenly become the owner
of the tool, neither with respect to its code nor to its operation, not
even of the part that exports data to Tor Metrics. There must be a clear
interface, and the owner of the tool providing the data will always stay
in charge of the parts beyond that interface from a Tor Metrics point of
view. It's not that Tor network data magically lands on Tor Metrics and
nobody feels responsible anymore. I think I implicitly wanted to make that
clear by using "you" and "we" in the document.
I'm open to different suggestions, though. This is just the very first
draft, and we'll improve it as we add more of ''"your"'' Tor network data
to Tor Metrics. :)
Thanks for the feedback!
