What information does Openbox send to the Internet?

Openbox sends your licence key to our licensing server, at least once every 30 days, to check that your licence is still valid. No personal information is sent, only the key.
Openbox also sends anonymous telemetry data to allow us to diagnose any issues or bugs that arise. This includes a report on the type and location of any unexpected error.
You can turn this off by unchecking the “Allow Openbox to report unexpected errors to us” box in the Openbox Settings window.
By default, Openbox won’t send your username with any error reports. If you want us to notify you when any bugs you report are fixed, check the “Include user name so we can tell you when the issue is fixed” box.
