Hey, @mark. I just checked your blog's source code, and you use Google Analytics. Theoretically you can roll out your own analytics solution, but you prefer to delegate that responsibility to a 3rd party that focuses all their resources on analytics. Even though Google "spies over what happens". And you don't even tell it to your site users.

In a perfect world, plugin developer could build everything himself. Unfortunately, it's not feasible.

At least with Freemius Insights the user is presented with the -exact- data that is being collected. And yes, not like GA, the user can simply click the Skip button.
