NVIDIA adds telemetry to latest drivers

Just a heads up for those NVIDIA users here.

Our green lover GPU maker updated its privacy policy, the telemetry has been implemented a while ago but now they...want more.

Not only technical and troubleshoot data will be collected, here is the NVIDIA privacy policy attached at the end of this post.

One bad thing about this, is that as of today, the data collected is not being encrypted before its transmitted to NVIDIA servers. So this could be exploitable if they don't fix that.

If you don't want this in your computer, it seems there is a way to disable it, go here for instructions: http://www.majorgeeks.com/news/story/nvidia_adds_telemetry_to_latest_drivers_heres_how_to_disable_it.html

Also the tags I used are just a joke bro! a social experiment!

Edit: It is not clear if the updated telemetry comes bundled with GeForce experience only or with the drivers, so my title could be misleading.
