>What information is collected:

Each time a burning sequence finishes, the following information are automatically posted to our web site :

• The VSO software that has submitted this
  information, and it’s version number (ex: “C3 3.0.48.94″ for CopyToDVD)
  
• The burning device manufacturer and model string
  (ex: “PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108″)
  
• The firmware revision of the burning device (ex:
  “1.18″)
  
• The inserted media identification string (ex:
  “RICOHJPN-W01-01″, a ricoh DVD+RW media)
  
• A unique identifier for the media (a hash
  string, which differ for each series of media. this help to find out if
  media is fake of good quality brand)
  
• Media Kind (a numeric code representing the type
  of media DVD-R, DVD+R, …)
  
• Logical Write Speed (The information returned by
  the drive)
  
• Burn Size (size in sectors of the data to be
  burned)
  
• Written Size (size in sectors of the data
  effectively burned)
  
• Burn Date (When it’s been burned)
  
• Completion Time (Time to burn, from start of
  lead-in to start of lead-out, with Written Size will give us the real
  writing speed)
  
• Status (a code telling is everything went ok, or in case of error, what kind of error we had)

All these informations sent are protected with a hash key, to avoid malicious attempts to send faked informations.

We *do not* collect any information that may help identifying a given computer or person.
