Privacy concern
« on: July 22, 2020, 06:38:00 PM »
I have some concerns regarding the privacy policy. I wanted to ask what data avast collects about malicious files, doesa avast upload the files to an avast server or if not what data does avast collect about such files? I also wanted to know if avast collects any data on files on the device that are not malicious to use for analytics or other reasons. I aldo wanted to clarify what URL data avast collects because in the privacy policy it says that avast collects data on malicious and non-malicious URLs, I wanted to know how common it is for avast to collect data on non-malicious URLs and what avast does with the data concerning the non-malicious URLs. And finally I was wondering if avast made any effort to anonymize this data when it is collected or if they link it with any unique identifiers to connect the data to the user. I look forward to a response. Thank you in advance.
