play time, achievements, or purchase history) is governed by
Valve Corporation's Steam Privacy Policy, not this Agreement.
6.7 GDPR and CCPA. Because the Software does not collect or
transmit personal data, GDPR (General Data Protection
Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
data-subject rights related to the Software are inherently
satisfied. No data deletion requests are necessary as

Windows 10 (version 1903 or later) and Windows 11. Licensor
does not guarantee compatibility with other operating systems
or with modified or unofficial Windows builds.

collect, store, transmit, or share any personally
identifiable information ("PII"). Licensor has no access to
your data.
6.2 Local Processing Only. ALL data captured, processed,
analyzed, and stored by the Software remains exclusively on
your local machine. The Software contains:
- No telemetry or analytics beacons
- No network communication to Licensor's servers
- No cloud storage or synchronization features
- No crash reporting that transmits data externally
- No user tracking, profiling, or behavioral analytics
6.3 System Data Accessed. The Software accesses the following
categories of performance-related System Data on your
Authorized Computer:
(a) CPU Metrics: utilization percentages, thread
scheduling, context switch rates, interrupt service
routines, deferred procedure calls;
(b) GPU Metrics: utilization, clock speeds, temperature,
VRAM usage, frame timing, present queue depth, GPU
engine activity, video scheduling events;
(c) Memory Metrics: physical and virtual memory usage,
page fault rates, working set sizes, commit charges;
(d) Disk Metrics: I/O read/write throughput, queue depths,
latency measurements, file system activity;
(e) Network Metrics: basic adapter status (no packet
inspection or traffic content analysis);
(f) Process Information: running process names, PIDs,
CPU/memory usage per process, relevant to gaming
workload identification;
(g) DirectX Events: DxgKrnl GPU scheduling, present calls,
flip queue management, GPU hardware queue activity;
(h) Event Log Entries: Windows System and Application log
entries related to hardware errors, driver crashes,
WHEA (Windows Hardware Error Architecture) events,
and Kernel-PnP device enumeration;

local, Licensor never possesses your data.
6.6 Steam Data. Any data collected by Steam itself (such as
play time, achievements, or purchase history) is governed by
Valve Corporation's Steam Privacy Policy, not this Agreement.
6.7 GDPR and CCPA. Because the Software does not collect or
transmit personal data, GDPR (General Data Protection
Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
data-subject rights related to the Software are inherently
satisfied. No data deletion requests are necessary as
Licensor holds no user data.
