I personally work a lot with the detection data. We are absolutely not in the business of monetizing data about our users. None of this data is shared with any other parties, it's solely for our own use to better understand what kinds of threats our customers are seeing and what parts of the app people aren't interacting with (which may indicate unclear user interface or a feature that people don't find useful), so that we can ensure we're protecting folks as well as we can. This helps us understand how people interact with the app This data does not include copies of files that were detectedĭata on how you interact with the app.
Just FYI, the data that is not sent when you turn off that option is:ĭata on protection-related activity (scans, RTP events) and any detections
#Malwarebytes mac free software#
I suspect that, because there is a network connection, but the connection to that server is being blocked, the software is probably seeing this as a temporary issue and the retries are more frequent.
but if the connection fails, it will retry periodically. It will normally be sent only once per day. (This is the "client data.") This just sends some basic info, like Malwarebytes version, macOS version, hardware architecture, license state, etc - nothing that is sensitive. There is one daily check-in sent to, regardless of the status of that setting. Can anyone from Malwarebytes comment on why Malwarebytes free is "phoning home" even with its "Usage and Threat Statistics" option unchecked?
