Communication Center Online Privacy
Communication Center is an interactive feature that must be connected to

tain your privacy.

nication Center

■ Product Language. The language version of your product

Autodesk compiles statistics using the information sent from Communica-
tions Center to monitor how it is being used and how it can be improved.
Autodesk will maintain information provided by or collected from you in
accordance with Autodesk’s published privacy policy, which is available on
http://www.autodesk.com/privacy.
Turn Communication Center On or Off
