I have on the privacy settings all the checkboxes unticked. No threat sharing or 3rd party data usage. (I recently just restarted my mac, and saw that these boxes were checked again after I had unchecked them previously...devious!)

But my concern is that yeah, on the frontend it says no sharing. But can I really be sure?

Also, I'm requesting that all my data previously collected from Avast that ended up in the hands of Jumpstart be deleted.

How to do that, can an admin help?

Thanks!!!
