Worrying privacy implications of "cloud" features, can we disable them?

As mentioned above, the privacy policy is also outdated:

Traffic Data information: We collect counters of traffic data generated by each software application running on your endpoint and the destination / origin IP address such traffic goes to/comes from. For the avoidance of doubt, GlassWire does NOT inspect the data packets going through an endpoint, it just records the quantity of traffic and the IP destination of such traffic to/from the endpoint, in order to make a Subscriber and/or an end user aware of any abnormal or unwanted data patterns occurring on GlassWire monitored machines.

No mention of the feature that reports how common certain applications are, would be good to know how this data is collected. What is it sending? Application name, version, checksum?

Edit: V3 release feels kinda rushed, but it looks like SecureMix is open to adding more privacy controls:

I’m not gonna celebrate until I see it actually implemented, but hopefully we can move on from this controversy and look forward to GlassWire picking up steam with new features.
