SUMMARY
When editing/adding an activity, there is a checkbox called "Privacy". It has the label "Do not track usage for this activity". Personally I don't feel like this explains anything. What is meant by "usage"? What is being tracked? Where is this data stored, and how do I access/view it?

Also, to me, the word "track" has negative connotations that I associate with Facebook, Google, Ad companies etc.
