Fully understand the problematic precedent set by default / always on telemetry, but do we have anything to suggest that this collects any form of PII? I would imagine the data they collect can be previewed on their ToS or something along those lines but I haven't been able to find it.

Furthermore, is it safe to presume this change is specific to beta Arc drivers on Windows, or is this likely to become the norm?
