If an administrator has opted to participate in the VMware Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP), VMware collects and receives anonymous data from client systems through Connection Server. You can configure whether to share this client data with Connection Server.

For information about configuring Horizon 8 to join the CEIP, see the Horizon Administration document.

Data sharing is enabled by default in HTML Access. You cannot change the data sharing setting after you connect to a server.

A Horizon administrator can turn off data sharing in HTML Access for all users and prevent users from changing the data sharing setting in HTML Access. For more information, see Turning off VMware Horizon 8 Data Sharing With the CEIP for all HTML Access Users.
