GZDoom's developers do not seem to be very good at handling privacy concerns (After all, if this was privacy-concious, it would be opt-in...) and so if you decide to use this program, you should make sure to compile it with the telemetry disabled, and you should make sure that this is the <i>only</i> spyware in the program- there may be more spyware implemented in the future. </p> <hr> <center> <h2>Sources</h2> <p> <a name="1">1.</a> <a href="https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=59787">GZStats: A quick rundown</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180325212702/https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=59787">[web.archive.org]</a> <a href="https://archive.is/2cTl4">[archive.is]</a><br> </p> <hr> <p><b> This article was last edited on 5/30/2018 </b></p> <p> If you want to edit this article, or contribute your own article(s), visit us at the git repo on <a href="https://codeberg.org/shadow/SpywareWatchdog">Codeberg</a>.
