Exactly, what we call this information is entirely besides the point. What matters is that it's being collected, and nobody outside the people operating the server knows how this information is used. If somebody says they trust Whisper and make a conscious choice to share that information with the company that's perfectly fine. However, telling people that the problem doesn't exist is dangerously dishonest.
