Collected information

[JohnNichols]

I was just updating a computer to the latest oneapi and I tick the box to collect information, 

What information does Intel collect?

Blood group, DNA, bank account number and password, Mothers maiden name, favourite pets name,......  I am certain that option links to a very long and very boring document that explains exactly the usage metrics that are gathered. If you are the sort of person that would take the time to read such a document then you probably the sort of person that would need to say no thanks when asked  out the option.

Actually the more interesting question is whether Intel will respond?  

I have no great problem giving them the information, given the number of installations, the data set will be huge, which limits how useful it is.

I would imagine they might say ..... (https://www.intel.ca/content/www/ca/en/privacy/intel-privacy-notice.html )

The install page that asks your permission has quite a bit of detail on what is collected, and there is a link for more information.
