What information does MacDive record about me?

When MacDive checks for updates, it can optionally send an anonymous system profile if you let it. You can disable this at any time from the preferences.

The following information is sent:

  • Language
  • OS Version
  • RAM
  • CPU
  • Computer Model
  • Dive Computer Model

This is all anonymous, and is used solely for development purposes. For example, language is incredibly useful for gauging which localisations will be important. It is recorded against a unique ID that is generated when you first launch MacDive. This ID is meaningless and does not identify you in any way, it just allows the macdive server to track unique statistics.
