NVIDIA adds far more visual option to not install GeForce Experience
Do you remember how Geforce Experience first was a feature, initially an optional separated install and then pretty much became a mandatory installation tied to the drivers, and then cloud logins like Facebook etc? Well, there always has been an option to not install it. If you installed a GeForce driver, you had to choose a custom installation and only then you would see the option to not install it listed in a drop-down list.
This has been changed, and though we're not sure why that is, we do think it might have been GDPR-related as the actual change took effect when the new legislation became active somewhere last month. If you install a recent NVIDIA GeForce Driver, you will now be specifically asked if you actually want to install GeForce Experience. It is a significant change and a far more clear in relation to consent. Once you install the driver you now get two options, install just the driver, or both the driver and GeForce Experience. This new setup was noticed by our colleagues from the Dutch HWI, props go out to them for this spot as I certainly missed it a month or so ago. Below two examples of how it is now, and how it was hidden in the past.
GeForce Experience has been loved and hated. Loved for it's streaming features, the ability to record with Shadowplay, but hated for transmitting all kinds of telemetry data of your PC and the fact that if you want to use say a feature like shadowplay, you are forced to use a nvidia, google or facebook account.
Above the new situation, you'll immediately get the option to choose both the driver and GeForce Experience or just the driver.
In the old situation, GFE was installed automatically, unless you specifically ticked custom installed, go to a following screen and deselect GFE.
Once you hit the custom installation, here you could unflag GeForce Experience to be skipped during installation.

If your data is sold or leaked does not make a bloody difference... you have no control over it anyway, and the companies lose only their money, you get nothing for your data in LinkedIn's, Dropbox's, Facebook's storages...
As long as you don't save credit card information or payment there, you just live the same as already being hacked. And companies save your credit card data anyway, no chance of you to help or cripple your data's security there. Yet none of this actually has to do with anything in regards to privacy, or even this thread's topic...
I agree it was a slight off-topic, but my comment was a direct response to Srsbsns post. This is why I quoted him. Dunno why you got so upset.
Anyway you seem to be highly uninformed what privacy information is and how it should be handled and protected. And also why you as a person should care about your privacy information.
Anyway we're diverging a lot from original topic so let's just stop here.
Really basic information I don't care about too much. I'm pretty sure AT&T that I use for my communication services sells my name, phone number, and address. Only thing I care about is my credit card, which is why I don't keep my credit card on file for online payments for things except my utility companies. Steam I don't even keep my credit card info on it, I just buy Steam cards.
You know a few basic information about you here a few there and suddenly they can build a whole profile about you.
As for credit cards, some banks offer virtual credit cards that act like pre-paid cards, but all web stores see them as regular credit cards. This is a great way to improve your security, since even if your account gets breached, noone will be able to spent more money than you transfered to virtual (pre-paid) credit card.
Also since they are not a physical thing, you can easily restrict them and get a new one.
This way you can still have a convenience of using stored payment information and be more secure.

They sure do. A few months ago i was talking to a friend on my AT&T iphone and the conversation turned to car detailing, and ultimately pressure washers. this lasted probably 2-3 minutes and that's all. Now keep in mind i have not done any internet searches about, or discussed pressure washers on the phone probably 10 years, yet the next morning I get on my PC before eating breakfast and was going to order some 18650 batteries for my vape device, and what do i see on amazon.com ? Ads for f'ing pressure washers. I then spent the next couple minutes racking my brain, looking for an explanation that did not involve my phone call the night before being listened to by a computer, and that information being transferred to amazon in some manner but there is no other explanation.
