If I create a OSS app with analytics to detect & log crashes with feature use, is it a bad practice? I think analytics is really helpful in finding:-

Edit...

Things Collected

IP Address for use ping (for country)
All crashes with IP
Feature use with IP Crashes are store for upto 6 months to solve bug but rest are collected and delete after 3 months

It is opt-out but user are informed about it during first / install time. To disable analytics Settings --> Privacy

I want to know right way to introduce analytics in OSS

Only reason we collect IP address is to evaluate which country is most active & focus localisation(language etc)

Not that usefull probably. I am in Italy but I use english language for most of the software I use daily, for example.

For this I think it is better to have a simple way to contribute with or ask for the translations.
