This isn't a commercial product it is open source. The very nature of the software being open source means that this is indeed the best answer. How many times have we run into commercial, closed, products giving the end user all kinds of lip service about what they collect only to hear later (I think I read stories on 3 or 4 companies in the last month) that they either lied or their marketing departments didn't have a clue and were exposed as collecting all sorts of info and storing it or selling it.

And the answer to that quesiton would usually be 'No'.

You can't be any more up front than putting your source code out there for everyone to check. But feel free to continue to trust the big corporations that give you the lip service that makes you feel better.
