Dear HermesPan,
I might be mistaken, of course, but I don't think Kovid is collecting any user information from calibre. None. There is nothing to withhold, because no one is actually trying to obtain anything from you.
Just enjoy Calibre as the free open-source software it is. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software for what you might interpret as Calibre's business model. As stated by others, donations are welcome but not mandatory.
