Opt in or out of sharing user data

We are constantly working to improve your experience with Aivia, and user data aids us in building new tools and improving existing tools to make your image analysis work faster and easier. During installation, you may opt in to share user data with us. Additionally, you can enable or disable the sharing of user data (telemetry) with the Send Telemetry checkbox in the Telemetry section of the Aivia Options dialog. We do NOT collect your results or raw image data whether or not you share your user data.

Furthermore, you may specify what kind(s) of user data, if any, you would like to share using the four (4) options below the Send Telemetry checkbox:

• The Share Feature Map Data option allows sharing of feature maps, which are abstract representations of your raw images. A feature map is a 1D array that is a processed and compressed version of the raw image data.

• The Share Usage Data option allows sharing of usage data and other system-related information.

• The Share Error Data and Logs option allows sharing of data relating to errors and warnings that occur during Aivia use.

• The Share and Enable Feedback System option allows prompts to appear for you to provide feedback about how Aivia did generating results.
