I would be much more concerned about what kind of information Google, Microsoft, Apple and similar companies can store about your habits when accessing Internet with your computer, tablet or phone. Without knowing your habits, I'm pretty sure Logitech isn't your main problem regarding privacy, I'm also pretty sure their privacy policy is pretty clear about that they don't do most of the things you fear they do, especially not without explicitly asking you for permission first.
If you only use mysqueezebox.com during initial setup, all they will be able to collect are which device you own, where you are located and connect that to your e-mail address. If you use a hotmail e-mail address it doesn't really say them much. You can even register separate mysqueezebox.com accounts with separate e-mails for each Squeezebox you own if you prefer to get really anonymous. However, it's your choice, as described previously in the thread it's possible to get around it if you prefer that, it's just requires some extra time and struggling so I would personally recommend you to accept the mysqueezebox.com registration and after the initial setup connect the Squeezebox to your local server and forget that mysqueezebox.com exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95617 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
