I can confirm that you will soon be able to control what data you send out so you are able to decide what features you want to enable (or not) on your V3. It should be out within weeks.
Any cloud based feature in anycase is currently linked to having an account, in the sense that if you are a legacy user and don’t make (or don’t login with) an account but just enter your existing license code, no data is being sent out of your endpoint regardless of what version of the software you are on.
Once again, we are an IT infrastructure monitoring company focused on helping users manage and secure their IT assets. We are not in the ads business, in fact are we the farthest thing away from it, and we don’t do any harvesting of social media profiles.
Whatever data we collect is to create baselines for our users to compare themselves to, and help provide better meaning to the data they are seeing.
