Horizon Client Data Collected by VMware
If your company participates in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects data
from certain Horizon Client fields. 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 better to customer requirements.
VMware does not collect data that identifies your organization. Horizon Client information is sent first 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-specific directory. The logs do not contain any
personally identifiable 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.
