-**TL;DR: In the newest release of Delta Chat (1.XXX),
-you can help improve Delta Chat by enabling
-"Advanced → Send statistics to Delta Chat’s developers"
-in the settings!
-This gives us real-world usage data
-which we're currently lacking.**
+We would like to improve Delta Chat with your help.
+This is why the newest version of Delta Chat for Android asks whether you want
+to send us anonymous usage statistics.
 
-_Are our users using secure QR codes to get into contact?_<br/>
-_Do many chats have [guaranteed end-to-end encryption](https://delta.chat/en/2023-11-23-jumbo-42)?_<br/>
-_Are many messages failing to decrypt, or is this a rare edge case?_<br/>
+You can enable this with the following steps: 
 
-Short of anecdotal reports from the community, we have no idea!
-This lack of feedback makes it hard to focus our development efforts
-where they’re most needed.
+**"Settings -> Advanced → Send statistics to Delta Chat’s developers"**
 
-In order to change this,
-we are introducing a "send statistics" function
-as an opt-in mechanism to help us collect real-world data.
+When you turn it on, a file with statistics will be sent to a bot once a week.
+If you're curious, you can open that chat and inspect what was sent.
+Everything is fully transparent;
+you can see exactly which data was sent, and when.
 
-You can enable it at:
 
-**Settings → Advanced → Send statistics to Delta Chat's developers**
-
-# What statistics are collected?
+## How will this data be used?
 
 We are interested in numbers like:
 
-- How many contacts are introduced by personally scanning a QR code?
-- Which versions of Delta Chat are being used?
-- How many messages are unencrypted?
-
-The full list of statistics we want to collect at first is here: XXX (do we want this?)
+- How many contacts are introduced by personally scanning a QR code
+- Which versions of Delta Chat are being used
+- How many messages are unencrypted
 
-No personally identifiable information is sent,
+We're taking care to collect the least amount of data possible.
+Most importantly, no personally identifiable information is shared,
 only statistics about your usage of Delta Chat
-and whether Delta Chat is working fine.
+and whether Delta Chat is properly working.
 
-# How is the data sent?
 
-Once enabled,
-the app sends the data once a week to a bot via a muted and archived chat.
-If you're curious, you can open that chat and inspect exactly what was sent.

-# Why this matters
+## Why this matters
 
 By enabling this setting, you’re helping us identify
-real-world usability, security, and [usable security](https://cispa.de/en/research/empiricial-and-behavioral-security/usable-security) issues —
-and prioritize improvements that actually matter to you and other users.
