It shouldn't be the user's responsibility to do these things just because they don't want a program sending data about their usage habits. If people are that worried they can block it in their firewalls or just add the ip's to the host file and point it to 127.0.0.1 - that way they can use the player and not have to worry about it phoning home, although the explanations given for it's reason seem shady at best to me I’m not a KMPlayer user at the moment and those kind of terms actively discourage me from ever even trying the software. In its current form your statement basically says: “We may collect any information at any time and do anything we like with it.” That may be legal (IANAL) but it is carte blanche and user unfriendly in the extreme. Those are only the questions that pop into my mind immediately. How is the data transmitted and stored? What measures are in place to prevent unathorised access/use? At least for “where/when users are starting the program” we are talking about personal information, so security is especially important.
The very general terms “version, installation, execution and removal information” hardly specifiy anything. In addition to neuron2’s question: “Data” is completely unclear. How often? How long do you keep the data? Also, who exactly has or can gain access to the data? Which specific purposes is the data used for? Note espcially that “make kmplayer better” is not specific at all. It is unclear what “support services” means. That statement is wrong in many many ways.
