Thanks for the above details.

Could you please supply links to the relevant code within the various PIM
applications using Telemetry so we can review the manner in which these
details are collected?

Of particular concern to me above is "screen parameters" as the
configuration of a device's screens carries significant information that
when combined with a few other datapoints is often sufficient to create a
unique fingerprint to identify the device. We'll therefore need to ensure
this is sufficiently fuzzed to eliminate that as a possibility.
