Intel graphics users have discovered that the company has begun implementing its Computing Improvement Program within its latest driver packages. The component, which appears to be ticked by default during the installation process, was created as a way for Intel to collect data about a system to provide better product improvements, according to a support page that includes a FAQ about how to participate in the program, including what data is collected, privacy and security concerns, and how to leave the program. Intel clarified that sensitive personal information is not collected as part of its Computing Improvement Program.

I wish my computer only looked for data in the internet when I asked, and only send data when I asked. Is this so hard to do? Does everything have to read 'metadata' and send it? This stuff about no sensitive data is bs, and they know it.
Collect enough of it, and it makes a clear picture.
