FYI the free version of RustRover has forced telemetry that cannot be disabled.
"It’s also important to note that if you’re using a non-commercial license, you cannot opt out of the collection of anonymous usage statistics. This is similar to our Early Access Program (where statistics is opt-out) and in compliance with our Privacy Policy"
All our stat collection in the products is fully compliant with GDPR, it doesn't send any personal information and it's not possible to link to the specific user from it.
For the record, can you confirm that the telementry does not contain any sort of installation or system ID and the telemetry endpoint never at any point records the IP address?
A lot of companies claim gdpr compliance while blatantly disregarding it.
I think forcing telemetry on free users, after the AI debacle and recently having moved the headquarters out of moscow for trust reasons, leaves a bad taste.
