There's no truly anonymous telemetry, there's only anonymous until combined with other data sets. You'd have to only store and process aggregate records (like "# of users using feature of X") and never store individual records, but if your application phones home without my knowledge, my trust is already violated and I won't believe you if you say you only store/process aggregates.
