Is there a privacy policy available for the telemetry collected by default by Bun?

The opt-out telemetry is worrisome. Along with the fact that there doesn't appear to be a way to disable it for single-file executables if you plan to distribute a Bun cli app to users: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/8927

According to this, it seems they don't actually send the telemetry:

Hope my interpretation is correct.

Yeah I saw a Github discussion where he mentioned that the code for uploading telemetry data was disabled, but he also said he plans to re-enable that at some point: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/discussions/2605#discussionco...

I would prefer to have the telemetry become opt-in before data collection is turned on.
