This option is NOT accessible from the obvious location of "Privacy and Security" but instead from "Spotlight". #privacy #telemetry #datacollection

I know the permission was part of setup through Mojave, but I haven’t set up a new Mac since then. I deleted my comment after realizing my information is outdated.

Sorry I can’t be more help.
