This application may check for updates via the Internet. This is done by sending a request to the Balluff update server. The request contains no personally identifiable information (PII) but downloads a small file containing the latest version information and then compares this information with the installed version of the Impact Acquire package. The update check can be disabled (or can be triggered manually) via the Help menu. See Checking For Updates for details on how to do this in the ImpactControlCenter application, DeviceConfigure allows this configuration using the Help menu as well.
