There was also rumor that it was sending IP addresses too, but that was strongly denied. This essentially collects usages statistics on all ISO’s you mount in the software like image hash, image file name, disk label, number of mount occurrences and sends it to to be logged.
That’s why there was quite a controversy in 2012 when the well known virtual drive software Daemon Tools decided to include a service called Mountspace starting in version 4.40.1. And rightly so too, with so many privacy issues to watch out for these days, the last thing you want is software you perhaps trusted do it as well. A lot of PC users get very annoyed when a piece of software access’s the internet without their knowledge and does things like phoning home without consent.
