Private should always be the primary concern
In todays Internet world it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain privacy and security. No matter what the justification it should never be permitted to collect personally identifiable data on users without their express permission. Even something as seemingly benign as crash data could be a risk to privacy if that data is correlated to a specific user.

I understand and agree with the voluntary submission of crash data, as long as the user is given the choice to opt out.
