Anonymous Usage Reporting

Theseus is a research project. When you install it, you'll be asked if you mind letting me collect information about how you use it. My goal is to create a truly useful debugger, and to figure out what's working, I need to know what features people are using and whether they continue to use them after the first day.

If you allow Theseus to report this information by checking that box during installation, then when you use Theseus, it will contact a server every so often to say that you've:

1. Used Theseus to connect to Chrome or Node.js
2. Activated certain Theseus features (clicking on call counts, clicking on buttons in the log panel, etc.)

It doesn't send the names or contents of files, or anything that we could use to figure out who you are. It does send a randomly generated identifier with your data (like a cookie), so we can tell if you're one person using Theseus a lot or 50 people using it a little.

If a new version of Theseus starts to collect different information, you will be asked to allow usage reporting again.

We store the information in a research database and it will only be used for research purposes. We may report aggregate statistics and anonymized excerpts of the data in academic venues.
