User manual

VMware collects data on the clients 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 in order to improve VMware's response to customer requirements.
No data that identifies your organization is collected. Horizon View Client information is sent first to View
Connection Server and then on to VMware, along with data from Horizon View servers, desktop pools, and
remote desktops.
Although the information is encrypted while in transit to View Connection Server, the information on the
client system is logged unencrypted in a user-specific directory. The logs do not contain any personally
identifiable information.
To participate in the VMware customer experience improvement program, the administrator who installs
View Connection Server can opt in while running the View Connection Server installation wizard, or an
administrator can set an option in View Administrator after the installation.
