Who's providing the telemetry/analytics if not one of same large corporations?

Many devs say they care about user privacy, but very few seem to care enough not to farm surveillance out to a 3rd-party they have no control over.

Erm. It would be me? The idea was that the app (not a web app btw) would send back data about which features were being used (to a server I control) so I could build up a picture of how often various features were being used relative to other features. Nothing remotely personally identifiable.
