It's possible that DeviceUniqueId could be considered PII by the GDPR (though open to interpretation) - remove it to be on the safe side.

Fixes #4.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to eliminate potential GDPR/PII risk by blanking out the DeviceUniqueId field in build telemetry, rather than deriving it from machine/user/environment inputs (issue #4).

Changes:

  • Marks DeviceUniqueId as obsolete and stops populating it during payload initialisation.
  • Forces DeviceUniqueId to be empty when decoding payloads from disk.
  • Keeps the field in the binary payload format (still written during encoding), but intends to ensure it carries no identifying data.
