As of Stingray 1.2.5, a new Autodesk analytics program replaces the Customer Involvement Program (CIP).

When you first launch Stingray, the Data collection and use dialog box appears with information about our data collection policy. You can also find those policies here: About Desktop Analytics. Desktop analytics collection is on by default.

If you decide to opt out later, you can turn off the participation check box using the Help menu in Stingray. Select Help > Speak Back > Desktop Analytics Program, then turn off the "I agree" option and click Ok.

We can improve the stability of our products largely because of the Customer Error Reports (CERs) that people submit. We thank you for taking the time to fill out these reports and ask that you include as much information as possible about what actions you were performing at the time the error occurred. These details raise the value of the report immensely and are very much appreciated by the Autodesk Stingray Engineering team.
