After the potential security risks are assessed from the
submitted data, Symantec sends the information back
to Norton Internet Security. The Norton features such
as Norton Insight and Insight Network use this
information to identify files and processes at risk.
You should participate in Norton Community Watch
submissions to provide valuable contribution to the
entire community that uses Norton security products.
Symantec maintains an adequate level of protection
for the collected information. To allow or deny the
detailed data submissions, you must configure the
Detailed Error Data Collection option under Norton
CommunityWatch. To access the DetailedError Data
Collection option, go the Norton Internet Security main
window, and then click Settings > General > Other
Settings> Detailed Error Data Collection. The detailed
data may vary depending on the Norton-specific errors
and components. You can configure the option to
manage the data submissions.

Norton Community Watch collects and submits detailed
data about the Norton-specific errors and components
only. It does not collect or store any personal
information of any user.

you installed your Norton product, you can turn it on
later. To access the NortonCommunity Watch option,
go to the Norton Internet Security main window, and
then click Settings >General >Other Settings > Norton
Community Watch. You can also review the data,
which Norton Community Watch collects and submits
to Symantec, in the Security History window.
