From discussing the debugging permitted use on a September call, there were several suggestions for updated text. An updated proposal is below: > Operators MAY retain data related to a communication in a third-party context to use for identifying and repairing bugs in functionality. As described in the general requirements [reference to Minimization section], for this permitted use services MAY collect and retain data from DNT:1 users ONLY when reasonably necessary to identify and repair errors in functionality; in some cases, graduated responses (for example, collecting more data after report of a bug) may be feasible. This permitted use is intended for short-term diagnosis and repair of third-party Web functionality, not to cover broad quality assurance measurements. I've elaborated graduated response as just one relevant example of data minimization, rather than a separate requirement, and made the short-term diagnostic distinction part of the normative text, as suggested (by Roy, and perhaps others, on that call).
