7.5.3. Preferences – General Page
The General page holds Usage Data Tracking settings. Usage Data Tracking technology enables
KOMPLETE KONTROL to automatically track anonymous usage data that you can choose to
share with us.
Usage Data Tracking can be enabled or disabled in the General page of the Preferences in the
KOMPLETE KONTROL software. However, we encourage all users to keep Data Tracking ena-
bled as it provides a valuable tool for understanding the performance of Native Instruments appli-
cations when they are used in real life situations. The data sent to Native Instruments is one hun-
dred percent anonymous and will not affect performance.
For more detailed information about Usage Data Tracking, please refer to the following Knowledge
Base article on the Native Instruments website: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/
