Desktop application (add-in for Microsoft Office)

Telemetry

When telemetry is enabled, Ampler collects the following information from your computer:

  • Usage statistics on used features.
  • Ampler’s own error logs.
  • Performance metrics about Ampler.

 

Alongside the above telemetry, this metadata is also collected:

  • A random unique id that represents a user. Users are only stored by this id, which means that users and their associated telemetry data are completely anonymous.
  • Basic information about Office such as version information, language, bitness.
  • Basic information about Windows such as version information, language, bitness, and screen resolution.

 

Besides the above-mentioned, Ampler does not collect any other information. I.e. all presentations, slides, documents, models, charts, content, pictures, data, etc. always stay within your company’s existing infrastructure.
If enabled, telemetry is sent and stored on Ampler’s servers. Communication takes place over standard HTTPS and is end-to-end encrypted.

Collection of telemetry can be disabled for your entire license key, from within the ‘Company settings’ in Ampler, which means that no telemetry will be collected or stored on Ampler servers for all your users.

 

We recommend leaving telemetry enabled because of the following reasons:

  • We prioritize fixing bugs above everything else. We monitor error reports and getting them, enables us to fix bugs sometimes even before users notice that they exist.
  • Performance metrics enable us to continuously monitor and improve the performance of the program.
  • Usage statistics allow us to monitor which features users love, and which features might be candidates for makeovers or are too hidden.
  • It enables us to help you by providing you with usage reports regarding adoption of Ampler in your organization.
