Rather than polling on start-up I used launchd to watch the crash

the program crashed.

Perhaps you do so elsewhere, but I think it is important to note
that the user should be prompted before any "personal" information
is sent around the world. Even if one trusts the endpoints to be
trustworthy, there are less than savory eavesdropping practices
occurring as we speak.
Indeed. In this model it is the helper application that must prompt
the user since if the main app is sick to the point of crashing there
is no way it can prompt the user. With regards the transport of the
users' information, the standard way to deal with this would be to
send the data over SSL. Uli's code for transmitting the data (using
an NSMutableURLRequest) should be able to handle this fine.
