How much data are your GPU drivers collecting about you? Quite a lot in Intel's case (www.techradar.com)

These are BETA DRIVERS. The point of beta releases is data collection.

You can also simply opt out if you want.

Mountain out of a mole hill.

Don't install beta products if you don't want to partake in said beta.
Read what you're agreeing to and opt out of the data collection if you don't want to have your data collected.

Saw a lot of posts on this topic, but this is the first time I am learning the drivers in question are Beta drivers.

Yeah because it's harder to bitch and moan about data collection when you're opting in to a program that is literally for data collection.
