Avast Data Privacy Day

Oh the irony of Avast doing a Data Privacy Day! I just came back to say, we have not forgotten. Your reputation is damaged forever.

I guess there were a popup after every install that let you know about what type of data is collected. I would always disable all data collection except the Community IQ. So If that means Avast is not collecting my personal data right now.

Avast doesn't collect your data, it scans your data to keep you safe.
