Razer Central secretly uploads GIGABYTES of data to internet. WTF?!

AlecTronicThe whole traffic is from and to my Philips HUE Base Station in my LAN are you sure? for me it definitely wasn't LAN traffic: screen razer center app that installed itself along with the drivers was constantly uploading gigabytes and gigabytes (around 500 MB every single day) of my private data straight to the internet. where to exactly? amazon data servers. screen2 oh no. this isn't some random error or misunderstanding or false alarm. razer bullshit shenanigans are a proven fact. don't trust razer.

DiprotonII see a Synapse 3.0 install window box on my screen. seen it too. it's actually a normal windows thing. when windows detects missing drivers, it tries to fix it and downloads what's missing on next win update. that includes any application bundled with driver. it doesn't secretly install it back tho, still asks you to do normal installation. just cancel it and it shouldn't try that again

btw i find really amusing that the only official comment from the staff we got was an answer to single least important sentence in this entire thread, completely unrelated to the problem, that nobody was asking about. and ignored everything else. nicely done.

it's full of legally vague terms that can mean literally anything "other tracking technologies" "including, but not limited to" "logs, data, other data and resources" etc

wanna know what razer actually does and what's this all about? just read Privacy Policy at the bottom of this page. seriously. you'll be fucking shocked. it basically says: "by using any razer product you automatically agree razer will TRACK AND COLLECT EVERY KIND OF DATA ON LITERALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, EVERYTHING YOU DO, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ON YOUR PC, EVERYTHING YOU LOOK AT, TYPE etc." EEEEVERYTHING. every bit of data, everything it can get, everything it can find on your computer and phone, all that belongs to razer now, to be stored, processed and analyzed, data mined, sold or used for whatever the fuck they want. BUT THAT'S OK! razer needs it to "improve your experience and ensure quality of service". and you've legally agreed to all this, remember? by pluggin razer device to usb. apparently that's a legally binding agreement. it's all legal. privacy policy says it's legal. i guess razer wants to play data mining game with the big boys like google or facebook, harvesting d

DRIFT_ITThat is a database error. that's what razer wants you to think :D but yeah i kinda suspected that. it just fits so nicely to this suspicious crap, it's more fun to assume it's a part of shady Illuminati conspiracy. I'm onto you, Razer. anyway: just last 2 weeks razer center service sent almost 5 GB of something to someone. screenshot pretty busy for useless app that does just 2 things: checks for updates that never come and launches razer synapse. that's it. DRIFT_ITSomething is wrong with your install my man. well lets check then. here's my razercentralservice.exe, all details and hashsum to check if it got modified somehow. otherwise i can't imagine some bug or accident could randomly cause it to send data to some ip addresses. again, in application that has no business uploading anything to do it's intended job. DRIFT_ITI have never seen it upload more than 100 mb of data total. good for you, but i just have. and even 100mb should rise some concerns. 100 mb of what? re
