i changed it to "telemetry". i'm not really sure what to call it. they are upfront about it in the clickwrap eula but the data is not anonymized (see section 1.5a - in k ".z.u" means username) and you are not allowed to obstruct connectivity. it's not quite spyware either, as it happens with your consent.

All the famous spyware I'm aware of which you had to have initiated the action to install includes an EULA which does mention the data collection. That doesn't make it any less spyware.
Telemetry?
