The analytics page describes them tracking information across time with a unique user identifier. They claim that identifier doesn't identify you, but it's attached to an exact Brew install so it does track your personal account on your machine at the very least; I'd classify that as PII.
Had they not submitted unique user tokens I think you mag be right. However, that's not how the analytics seem to work.
The law does allow logging for a variety of things but in this case I'd say they're in the wrong. They assume that it's okay because they don't track you across websites and that's good to know, but that's not the point.
