Telemetry – Privacy Policy
Introduction

CDP has a need to understand how the product is used and collecting telemetry data can provide this understanding. The collected data will be used to improve the product and user experience.
The telemetry is a pre-requisite for using the non-commercial and the trial versions and an opt-in feature for commercial users (users with a commercial license). The data is collected anonymously.
The telemetry collection applies to CDP Studio, CDP Framework and installer.
Opt-in for commercial users
The data collection for commercial users (users paying for the license and issued with a commercial license) is an opt-in service and must be actively selected before any data is collected. The data collection may be de-activated at any time from CDP Studio tool settings.
Data collection for non-commercial users and trial users
The data collection for non-commercial and trial users is mandatory and a pre-requisite for using the products. The telemetry data is collected regardless of the CDP Studio tools settings.
Anonymity
The data is collected anonymously and no data that can identify a user is stored, e.g. no IP address, email, machine id, user id etc is stored. No personal information like file names, folder names, project names is collected.

The data collected is environment data and usage data. Environment data is information about the CDP Studio and Framework versions, operating system, toolchains. The usage data is information about the use of different features, usage frequency and times.
