We do not record all your processes and send them to our servers.
We watch the process list for 3 reasons.
Detect games to show on your status message. You can turn this off anytime in the privacy tab of settings.
Detect games to hook the overlay into if it is enabled.
Detect games run as administrator to warn that Push to talk won't work.
You cannot disable the scanning as the 3rd reason is always required.
If you use the overlay we send information about your DirectX and GPU to our metrics server to track success rate of the overlay as we test it and improve it. We will probably stop sending this to our server as soon as overlay moves out of the experimental phase.
Nothing else is ever saved to disk or sent over the network.
Also the IP address you listed is an address of one of our US East voice servers which has no relation to our primary data center. Nothing is sent over it that would involve games. Our primary IPs (where we send your status) would be something else. Whatever data you saw being sent continuously was probably related to voice chat."
