Okay but I don't see why you're so skeptical of the policy.

This is all normal telemetry data roughly analogous to what most websites collect. Why are you assuming they're probably collecting much less?

Because policy documents are written by lawyers to cover the companies ass for every eventuality. There is a different motivation here.

The code is written by engineers to either solve a problem, or spy on the users. The policy document does not disambiguate between the two.

Especially because the service required to capture/collect these metrics would be several orders of magnitude more complex than the service required to serve a single static file.
Not really?

Include them in the web server logs of the system serving the static file and call it a day.

That’s pretty basic.
