The anonymous system profile includes hardware information like the number and type of CPUs or the amount of RAM in your machine, and statistical information about how Synk's features are used. This info allows us to tune our software for the way it's most used in the real world. For example, knowing how many users are on Mac OS X v10.7 versus Mac OS X v10.6 helps us decide which OS versions need to be supported by new versions of the software.
Absolutely no personal or sensitive information is ever collected. In particular, no information about you personally (for example, name/address), the names or contents of your files, server login information, or anything else sensitive is ever recorded. Additionally, your profile is entirely anonymous and cannot be traced back to you.
These profiles are securely and anonymously stored only on our server. Neither the raw data, nor any of the statistics we gather from them, is ever shared with any third party.
You can prevent anonymous system profiles from being sent via Synk > Preferences. If you ever have any questions about the contents of these profiles, or any concerns at all, feel free to contact Decimus Support anytime.
