Can not imagine how 'collect' can be defined like that. The fitting definition
for 'collect' is in lines of 'gathering together', 'transmit' has near opposite
meaning of 'sending to'. Here, I was stating the kind of information, which the
act of assembling together relates to, those that are transmitted to kde. And
the collection of that data, as specified in the policy, must not be done
before user's authorization.

He didn't authorized that data, that were collected previously, but only new
ones. This comes from the policy's promise that no collection happen before. As
a result, his action allows the start of the collection process, which will
create (new) data to transmit.

That explicit action allows not only the transmission of data, but also the
collection of them. And because that locally saved data, were collected before
the explicit action, and should not be transmitted.
