It is not one monolothic component anymore, it has been split into two components: -1. The [Voukoder Core](https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder) component will be registered as a system wide COM server and will provide its encoding services and user interface to as many programs as possible. You can even integrate it to your own program. -2. The **connector**. A connector is the component that binds to the host application and sends the frame data to the voukoder core component. - -## Why so complicated? I liked it how it was before! -This step was necessary for many reasons and was actually unavoidable: -- Clear separation between proprietary and open source code -- One voukoder component serves many connectors -- Possible future features (i.e. self updating) -- ... - -In fact the connectors will most likely not change that often. You just need to install the latest voukoder core component in case of an update, just as before. +## Data protection +The following data is beeing transmitted on each startup by these applications: +- Your IP address will be used by sending a request to GitHub to identify the lasted Voukoder version +- Your IP address will be used to send a request to to Google Analytics to create usage statistics. The payload data includes an unqiue but anonymous installation id as well as the application (name and version). +No other data will be obtained. ## Note These connectors require [voukoder 2.3 or later](https://github.com/Vouk/voukoder/releases). Please uninstall previous versions before updating first.
