lmacri Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Just an FYI that CCleaner 5.70 has added new settings at Options | Privacy | Offers that are not mentioned in the change log at https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/version-history. Note that the option to "See possible upgrades and offers for our other products by sharing app-usage with us" is enabled by default. Kudos to bjm_ for alerting other CCleaner users about this new Privacy setting <here> in the Norton Tech Outpost. -----------------64-bit Win 10 Pro v1909 build 18363.959 * Firefox ESR v68.11.0 * CCleaner Free Portable v5.70.7909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Dave CCleaner Posted August 6, 2020 Admin Share Posted August 6, 2020 That is in the process of being added to an errata note on the release notes, as we only spotted it ourselves after launch. These new settings weren't supposed to ship until a later version and got caught up in this build release - they are still in "draft mode" and not hooked up to anything at the back end yet. Absolutely not intended to be included without explanation - quite the contrary, the plan was to make a big headline noise about this when finally released. They slipped out early and incomplete in our haste to fix the Firefox issue. Once active, they will be part of a mechanism to allow free users greater control over their privacy to opt-out of seeing certain offers in the same manner that paying users currently enjoy - expanding privacy settings and certainly not curtailing them in any way.

tinman9898 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Thou doth protesteth too much. All settings which harvest data should off by default. Very sneaky having them on from installation. There should be a prominent prompt as soon as installation starts, giving the option to opt in, if you so desire, or decline.

Bluetac Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Even turning these off, you still get the pop up notification to extend your licence to a 2 year one with tech support. most that use the pro version i dare say will never use he support, hows about an offer for a cheaper 2 year deal with no tech support ? nope didn't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted September 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2020 15 hours ago, Bluetac said: Even turning these off, you still get the pop up notification to extend your licence If you read the options being discussed here they clearly say they are options for offers/upgrades to 'our other products' and '3rd-party products'. They are not options for CCleaner itself, and certainly not about licensing. Plus as Dave CCleaner pointed out above they are not even supposed to be there yet, they are there by mistake and at the moment do nothing if/when selected. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?
