Horizon Client Data Collected by VMware
If your company participates in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects data from
certain Horizon Client elds. Fields that contain sensitive information are anonymous.
VMware collects data on client systems to prioritize hardware and software compatibility. If your company's
administrator has opted to participate in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects
anonymous data about your deployment to respond beer to customer requirements. VMware does not
collect data that identies your organization. Horizon Client information is sent rst to the Connection
Server instance and then to VMware, with data from Connection Server, desktop pools, and remote
desktops.
Although the information is encrypted while in transit to the Connection Server instance, the information on
the client system is logged unencrypted in a user-specic directory. The logs do not contain any personally
identiable information.
The administrator who installs Connection Server can select whether to participate in the VMware customer
experience improvement program while running the Connection Server installation wizard, or an
administrator can set an option in Horizon Administrator after the installation.
