The first thing that strikes me is the date of birth complete as the enter from google. I have the login through my Google account, something I usually do for convenience so I don’t have to think and remember dozens of passwords. I understand that this data can be used to identify user niches by age group, but it is concerning that I am taking this data from Google.
Something they store is that about two years ago install on mobile GeForce now, to test it. Since I’m not convinced, I uninstalled it and don’t use it.
Another thing that tastes bad is my position. If the country (Europe) and the autonomous community are right, the city is wrong. Specifically, it gives a location about an hour from my current location. I find it interesting that doesn’t list all the places I’ve livedwhich in the past two years have been five (none who says).
Complete breakdown of hardware and configuration
Is NVIDIA aware of my last two computers, which are the ones I used with this software. It knows the processor model, graphics card model, amount of RAM memory, monitor model, resolution and refresh rate. He knows if it’s a portable system and the model, or if it’s a system I built myself.
something you don’t know does not collect is the unit of storage, specifically the interface and the capability. He also does not collect What Apps I use to access the Games, something that catches my eye. It doesn’t know if the games I installed are in Steam, Epic Games Store, Origin or others.
It is also surprising that does not collect compatibility information with Ray tracing and DLSS. This is data that could eventually be useful to the business, but since it is already getting data from system components, it will not need this information.
Time played and other information about it
Of the whole report, what surprised me the most was information what about the games i played. The first, they are not allquite the contrary. The Crysis saga does not appear (well, only the second spell, although I also played the first), it happened to me last year for the umpteenth time, there is also no data on FIFA 23 or Warzone 2games I’ve played lately.
But it does collect data from certain games and that data is interesting to say the least. Collect them number of minutes that I dedicated to each game, the number of sessions and the Average FPS. I must say that does not match with the steam datawhere I have all the games.
The one I spent the most time on is PES 17 with around 57 days of my life, I spent around 53 days in CSGO, around 12 days in FIFA 22 and around 10 days in Minecraft. I have to say I’ve played Minecraft a lot more, I think I started with version 0.4 or thereabouts of the game and managed to put many hours into it. But hey, that’s a whole different matter.
I find this data super interesting which is not given to the user. I also find interesting data maximum and minimum FPS rateeven if are not. That Minecraft ran for me at an average of 4 FPS is normal, we already know that when the game loads biomes it gives significant boosts.
How to get this data?
The truth is that it is not very difficult to obtain them, although it is a bit tedious. From the same GeForce experience we can access the web page where we can request this information. Here are the steps:
- We open the GeForce Experience software
- We’re going Setting, by clicking on the gear wheel at the top right or by clicking on our profile and accessing account
- click on NVIDIA Privacy Policy
- A website opens in our browser where various information about this policy appears
- We descend until we find Data Sharing for Personalized Advertising and we press
- This takes us to another page where it appears request my data and click on this option
- Now we go to a page where it tells us Select an account and we have to click Continue
- A new website directs us to different services from which we can download the information collected, which in our case is that of Nvidia
- we are asked indicate our accountwhich will be used in GeForce Experience
- We have to go to the mail for get the pin that they sent us to request the information
- Now we just have to wait for them to send us the information. This can take up to a weekin regards to
It is a simple process, but the truth is that it is quite tedious. Please note that we also cannot guarantee that this is all information collected by NVIDIA, only what they tell us they have collected.
