Privacy Policy? Worried about uploading PII (serial numbers, MAC addresses, etc.)

[Timmy256]

Hi there, I hope you are doing well.

I just run a benchmark with the demo/free version on the site, but I didn't realize that it would upload the results automatically at the end, and now I'm deeply regretting. This is a brand new laptop, this was the first app I ran and now I "feel" like its info its on the Web.

I know you have been around for a long time and are a serious company; also that you probably don't upload the identifiable information, etc., but I'm still feeling unease. I've found no talk about this in the whole Web, forums, Reddit, GenAI agents, etc; no specific mention of this (closest was some guy in 2006 asking about serial numbers in files )

I've tried reading through the privacy policy and it steers more towards website privacy (i.e. not storing email, addresses, etc.) and are no specific mention of things like serial numbers and such.

I know this is probably nothing but, could you please reassure me that not; any identifiable information was uploaded in the baseline? Only generic models; no ties to my particular machine or specific serials?

Finally, one last question, would it be possible to request deletion of that benchmark? That would help me a lot.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you uploaded anonymously you can give us the baseline number we can delete it.
If you uploaded it to your account with an API key, you can delete it yourself.
If you don't have the baseline number it is probably going to be hard to find the upload, unless you have some other details, like the upload date and the machine specs we can search on.

The upload has the machine hardware details. Example can be found here

Some components do sometimes have a serial number (like RAM sticks). But this is often just a date code from when the stick was made. So no real risk.
