Usage statistics collection

Starting in this release, Min will collect anonymous statistics on how you use it (such as your operating system and language) and how often you use certain features. Collecting this information helps us prioritize what to work on and make Min better. These statistics don't include any personally-identifiable information, and we don't collect your history, passwords, or any other private data you have stored in Min.

You can learn more about what's collected here. If you want to opt out, you can do so from the settings page inside Min.
