As an answer to Scott, in France it's illegal to collect information without
asking permission to the user (it usually takes the form of a box you have
to check if you agree).

But if MadCap's tracking feature can be disabled or if you inform and ask
permission, I don't see where the issue might be. 

For those of you who can read French here's the website of the governmental
organization that guarantees the law is applied: http://www.cnil.fr/
