What information does NZXT CAM send back to NZXT? Why does CAM have no “offline option”?

NZXT CAM can operate while fully offline and does not require an internet connection when run in "Guest Mode". However, NZXT CAM does use an internet connection for the following: 

• Checking for, downloading, and installing updates
• Logging in, and backing up user settings to the cloud so they can be recovered in the event of local data loss
• Allowing users to submit tickets and access our online help portal.

NZXT CAM sends the following information to NZXT when logged in to an account or in guest mode.

• Anonymized usage data, which NZXT uses to make improvements to NZXT CAM
• Anonymized performance data, which NZXT uses to make performance estimates around game performance on different systems.

All functions except for the auto-updating of the CAM software can be disabled in the General tab under "Privacy".
