Hi Aleix,

to 1) I'm pretty sure this is not at all what Gregor wants to say. It's more like the behavior should be:
- On a fresh install, the message box asks you whether you really want to send the data.
- This message box always pops up, except if you
  - either activated "[x] Don't show again",
  - or you deactivated in the settings "[ ] Ask for confirmation"

Granted, the code in the review request does not yet fully do that (as far as I can see), but this is totally NOT about "advanced users not careing about sharing too much data" ;)
