Adobe spies? - Myth busted

By Cari Jansen | January 13, 2008

A lot of forums and blogs over the past weeks have started rumors about calls being made to *.2O7.net when your Adobe software fetches up-to-date info from the Adobe web-site.  People thought the Big Red A was spying on them…

John Nack on Adobe (Adobe Blogs) spent a fair bit of time demystifying what’s going on and Adobe has just released a TechNote that explains it all. In a nutshell: Adobe does not spy on you. Myth Busted!

The calls to *.2O7.net are made to display up-to-date information in your application’s Welcome Screen and Bridge Home. A tracking callback made to Omniture stores only date/time of call, software and version.  No personally identifiable data is retrieved.

For those of you still worried: disabling Welcome Screen and Bridge Home will stop the calls from being made.
