Which data do we collect and why?

• A version of Python Interpreter. PlatformIO Core (CLI) is written in Python language, including development Development Platforms. We need to know which Python version produces such type of exceptions (see below), which is more popular, which version we should drop and focus on a new one

• PlatformIO Core (CLI) errors/exceptions. We report automatically fatal exceptions raised by PlatformIO Core source code but NOT by your project

• The name of the used platform, board, framework. We collect this type of information to have a clear picture which software products are the most widely used by our Community and for the which we should provide frequent updates and add new features ( for example, “atmelavr”, “arduino”, “uno”, etc.)

• The name of CLI command. It helps us to improve our CLI. For example, “run”, “lib list”)

• The name of Cloud & Desktop IDE. This is very important information for us. We create native extensions based on the popularity of IDEs (for example, VSCode, CLion)
