Send connection-quality data..: (Default is On) RealOne Player monitors your Internet connection during data transfer and sends connection information (bit-rate, error rate, etc.) to the RealServer and its content providers.

If you do not wish to share your information with content providers, do not check these boxes.

Send the RealOne Player GUID to RealServers: (Default is Off) To access secured content you need to turn this setting on so that the RealServer can identify you as someone who should have access. After viewing secured content you have the option to turn your RealOne Player GUID setting off again by unchecking this box. This preference is optional for non-secured content.

Send configuration info..: (Default is On) RealNetworks can offer you more accurate solutions to problems you may encounter. Better, more complete information helps RealNetworks return more meaningful error messages to you. While this information is not required to receive error messages, it is recommended that you leave this option checked so that we can offer you the best possible assistance.
