MGlitch, thanks for sharing this. I was not aware of that before trying to create this.

Yes, I believe security would definitely be an issue. To mitigate some of that, I was thinking of creating a tool that would run in your local machine that would pull just the data needed out of the database. So, no need to share the whole database which has emails and other personal info.

After pulling the data, this "tool" would show to the user with checkboxes where the user can accept and decline sharing that specific data (e.g.: percentage read, and others).

In regards to storing the data. The data can be anonymized, so there is no email or other personal info attached to the user; just the user id.

Thoughts about that?
