It is an important issue. Specially under countries protecting personal data by law, like spain for example in where law says personal data belongs to the person it refers to instead of the company or program having it. Despite it being free software I think it should be fair at least protecting that data or warning user about this issue.

Mircosofts Internet explorer is doing it. The first time you start
editing filed it asks if the data should be stored. Usually the user say
yes and will never be asked again. I am not sure if there is a hint
where data are stored and what problems may be involved by this.
