« on: August 05, 2022, 04:10:30 PM »I log the IP address, the geolocation information I get from a third party API based on that IP address, what version of TASC is running, the TASC settings configuration, the mod list, and a UUID which is stored in a text file in the starsector saves folder.
I considered making the data collection opt-in due to the concerns you outlined above, but I decided to make it opt-out (via the settings toggle) because I thought very few players would care whether their IP address is being logged and almost everyone would leave the default setting unchanged. Given that I don't sell the data or otherwise profit from developing this mod, I don't think it's problematic.
Opt-in, or Opt-out, many thanks for this change. I was not aware there was collection going on and would prefer to opt out myself.
I wonder if it's possible to create an "on new game" or "on load" message when first getting into the campaign map to provide a message asking players to opt-in, or some kind of log message in intel explaining, and using a console command to toggle-switch the data system on? Not to back-seat mod but that could be a nifty solution. I am no coder, so I would have no idea.
