>only collect minimal data necessary for functionality >however, they may collect anonymized data for improving their software through analytics. So they do not unless they think of a plausible enough sounding excuse. anonymization with the massive amount of unique data a AV can collect is also nothing more than a empty promise. it's truly mind boggling that in current year any vaguely tech literate person would believe a for profit proprietary software company would not data harvest the shit out of any bit they can because of worthless text on a website they could change or circumvent at any time or just ignore without any real repurcussions (pity fines don't count).
