## What are these connectors for? ## Data protection
Since version 2.3 the Voukoder project has significantly changed. It is not one monolothic component anymore, it has been split into two components: The following data is beeing transmitted on each startup by these applications:
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. - Your IP address will be used by sending a request to GitHub to identify the lasted Voukoder version
2. The **connector**. A connector is the component that binds to the host application and sends the frame data to the voukoder core component. - 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.
## 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.
## Note ## Note
