Chris,
I thank you for answering the questions put by the community, but I would like to point out that, in regard to data collecting, your FAQ raises a number of questions regarding our privacy. I am so much concerned that I decided to post about the Origin problem for the first time.
While we have an opt-out for ME3 data collecting we have none for Origin. EA also claims Origin is not Spyware, but does not answer the vital question about what Origin does. (I found the EULA vague and, frankly, alarming in regard to privacy). To make things worse, the EULA seems to give the impression that EA claims the right to collect data from anything within our PCs, anytime, without even bothering to inform us…(I may be wrong about this).
So I will be candid and put some questions I’ve been concerned with here:
Does Origin collects and sends any data, at all, from our PCs, or not?
If so, to whom? To EA alone, or other companies as well? If so, what companies, exactly, and why?
Very important: What, exactly, is collected from our PCs?
(example of what I’m aiming here: if I knew it collected information only about what EA games I have installed and nothing else, that would we reassuring, but if it was something vague as “data that allows us, at EA, to improve our relation with our customers,” it would not, as it is too vague for us to know what you are aiming for).
Also; why, exactly, is it being collected?
(if we are supposed to give you our data, it would be nice to know what, exactly, is it for).
Most importantly; in regard to Origin, why can’t we have an opt-out from data collecting, or can we?
(Not everyone has the same desire of privacy. It is both an individual and cultural issue; it would be great if EA would acknowledge this by allowing those of us who desire greater privacy to keep it).
Finally; assuming the EULA does not reflect what exactly is being collected, (it seems to give EA the right to collect anything),is it going to be changed to be accurate? If so, when?
So there you have it.
As a note, would like to add that I’ve been buying and playing most of your PC games since Baldur’s Gate to DA2. Now as a rule, I don’t game much, but Bioware is the exception; and I honestly would like to keep it that way; that said, I value my privacy greatly, and I do not desire to abdicate from it, so I desire to know if Origin operates within what I can accept or not.
Thanks for reading, and if you can get any answer for this, it would be much appreciated,
Vallore

You could very well be right. 
Retour en haut
(that said I know ME3 isn't likely to use up all 4GBs (Unless I start using texmod again ![=]](https://lvlt.forum.bioware.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.png)
) but still it's irkesome).
