Usage Statistics

Recently, borb has gone into the early stages of finding a reseller. This is a very exciting step that I am sure will bring positive things for all of us, both borb and its users.

Understandably, the marketing/sales team would like some data to figure out what our target audience is, where to invest effort and resources, and more. So I have added UsageStatistics to borb. This class gathers the following data:

  • anonymous user ID (This is a randomly generated UUID, it is persisted in the installation directory of borb to ensure consistency between calls)
  • city
  • country name
  • country code
  • system platform (the operating system on which borb is running)
  • state
  • utc time in ms
  • version (the version of borb that is running)

These statistics are periodically sent to our server(s). I have done my best to ensure this does not hinder the performance of borb in any way. I urge to look at the source code of the License package to reassure yourself of the fact that we are gathering only the bare minimum of data.

Nevertheless, I fully understand that you may prefer not to send this information. You can turn it off by calling UsageStatistics.disable().
