 By default, this playbook configures your Matrix homeserver to not send any telemetry data anywhere.
 
 The [matrix.org](https://matrix.org) team would really appreciate it if you could help the project out by reporting
-anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very [basic aggregate
-data](#usage-statistics-being-submitted) (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps track the
+usage statistics from your homeserver. Enabling usage statistics helps track the
 growth of the Matrix community, and helps to make Matrix a success.
