 ## Package technical scope

+### Telemetry & user-informed consent
+
+Your package should avoid collecting usage analytics. With
+that in mind, we understand that package-use data can be invaluable for the
+development process. If the package does collect such data, it should do so
+by prioritizing user-informed-consent. This means that before any data are
+collected, the user understands:
+
+1. What data are collected
+2. How the data are collected.
+3. What you plan to do with the data
+4. How and where the data are stored
+
+Once the user is informed of what will be collected and how that data will be handled, stored and used, you can implement `opt-in` consent. `opt-in` means that the user agrees to usage-data collection prior to it being collected (rather than having to opt-out when using your package).
+
+We will evaluate usage data collected by packages on a case-by-case basis
+and reserve the right not to review a package if the data collection is overly
+invasive.
