I allow everything from FOSS that I like, you?

    I generally feel fine if I can preview the payload and it doesn't contain too identifiable stuff. Even better if you can redact fields. NewPipe has a simple implementation of this where it just opens up your email client with a pre-filled body.

    I'm hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today's technology. I'll only allow it if it's reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it's consentual.

      So, if an application crashes on your device, you're okay with it never getting fixed because the developer has no idea it's a problem?

        I love how you're implying a bug will never get fixed because I, of all people, am not using telemetry. If it's bugging you so much that's when you open up a ticket on their issue tracker.

    Bug reports and error logs. Helps support the development of the software without it feeling like my data is sold for money unnecessarily.

    Almost none. I want all telemetry off by default, and only gets turned on by me when I want it, and with all conditions and content known.

    I like the optional error reports where I can choose just the error report to send.

    Of course all this only for FOSS apps.
