Usage Statistics
WinSCP can send to WinSCP team non-personal statistics about usage of WinSCP features. The only potentially personal information sent is IP addresses. You can disable this functionality in the installer or anytime later in preferences.
WinSCP usage statistics help us improve future versions of WinSCP. Once sent to us, usage statistics are stored for analysis (except IP addresses) and made available to the core WinSCP team only.

Why is it very important?
We work very hard to make WinSCP reliable and useful. We also love improving WinSCP with every release. And last but not least, we provide WinSCP application to You for free and we want this to stay so!
However our resources and time are unfortunately very limited. We want to focus our effort on improving the right features for You. That is why we need to learn more about how You use WinSCP. Understanding user experience is very important for us, it means, Your experience using WinSCP is important too!
Please allow to send us your usage statistics data!
What usage information is collected and sent to us?
WinSCP collects and sends following static information about your system, counters and metrics.
