Statistics
By creating a hardware probe you contribute to the "HDD/SSD desktop-class reliability test" and "Devices with bad Linux-compatibility" studies.

Privacy
Private info is not collected. Moreover, it's safer to share your logs by hw-probe rather than share manually, because most private data is removed or hashed at the client side before uploading.
