The distinction between anonymous and pseudoanonymous matters a lot in practice, even with a unique machine ID hash, there are patterns can still identify users across sessions. Would be good to see a clearer breakdown of whats collected and how it is anonymized.

the distinction is that the former is a real word, and the latter is a nonexistent word with no meaning. Are you an LLM?
How come pseudoanonymous does not exist? There are definitely some data that can trace the user without factual data https://www.ru.nl/en/staff/researchers/research-data/persona...

And well, if I'm an LLM, I'm not, but nowadays that's hard to demonstrate, isn't it?
