Yco Thank you for your honesty
Oh, we are very transparent about that. There is a separate check box every user has to explicitly accept durint installation. There is also very concise summary of main points of EULA in EULA dialog, and this is second point in that summary. So we did everything in our power to make sure users have every chance to be aware about this.
Yco What anonymous usage statistics are sent in a free version to your server for example? (I just confirmed a person in a picture and communication was activated.
The best analogy would probably be Google Analytics that is installed on pretty much every web site. It counts every page visited by user so web masters then can see which pages are popular, what is average session time, what is most common user path, etc. Same with our statisics - it mostly sends events to the server for dialoge opens and other activity, but it does not send photos, people names, or anything that can be considers as personal information. This way we can measure popularity of this or that feature.
Yco If it won’t be stopped in a paid version, can I get my money back?
As I said before, you can disable this in paid version, just please check your settings.
