I would be more inclined/adept to use it, if it just recorded anonymous stuff like the repetition history (dates, intervals) without user-identifying data as questions/answers or notes ids, etc.

I would not use this because it collects highly sensitive information about the user/collection:

Improved version is already there: [https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2039239436](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2039239436) (I can’t edit this post anymore)

I removed following fields: card ID, user ID, deck ID. I can’t remove questions and answers because my research will depend strongly on lexical analysis. Please note that you can easily disable/enable add-on at any time.
