Telemetry is showing 25% more installs than the Google Play Store does (bug 1483927). Frank suggests (in bug 1501822) that we include the user's Google Ad ID (salted and hashed) in install/uninstall telemetry to count unique users and avoid double-counting reinstalls. If the user has disabled the Google Ad ID, we will instead send the client_id in a separate field. The Google Ad ID and the Telemetry client_id should never be sent together. Google Ad ID can be reset by users. Google's policy requirement is that all apps use this ID in lieu of any others for advertising. We are not using this for advertising so that policy should not apply to us.
