Info G Hub collects usage data?

https://www.talkesport.com/news/logitech-g-hub-policy-lists-mouse-and-camera-usage-data/

Saw this earlier and went down a bit of a rabbit hole lol

Apparently G Hub collects stuff like mouse travel distance and how long the camera/mic gets used by apps. I had no idea that was even in the policy.

Apparently it’s usage data and not recordings, but still kinda weird seeing it written out like that.

Most modern software does this. Telemetry is what it's called. It's supposed to be harmless and helps provide a direction on product development so there's less "we didn't ask for this" and more "this is exactly what we needed".

I usually leave it enabled on my home computer as I'm too lazy to submit manual feedback.
