Just disable the plugin on your browser and you should be okay. Still doesnt excuse this i already hated Uplay because of the very crappy cloudsaving where you can lose like 10 hours of gameplay.

if your that worried about privacy, than your really need to look no further than the PC that has windows installed. Any company and every company that makes product's such as these most likely does have a backdoor into your system.

example:

November 19, 2009 03:07 PM ET

On Monday, Richard Schaeffer, the NSA's information assurance director, told the Senate's Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security that the agency had partnered with the developer during the creation of Windows 7 "to enhance Microsoft's operating system security guide."

Now you may ask there is not one shred of proof that is the case, and you are 100% right,There is no proof, that does not mean it's not there and notice i said Most likely.

I just would not put it past them to do it. you can trust Corporations and Govt' bodies just as much as you can trust them to be Corporations and Govt. bodies!

Now Read this:

NSA key to Windows an open question

September 03, 1999

CNN Microsoft operating systems have a backdoor entrance for the National Security Agency, a cryptography expert said Friday, but the software giant denied the report and other experts differed on it.

The chief scientist at an Internet security company said Microsoft built in a key for the nations most powerful intelligence agency to the cryptographic standard used in Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT4 and Windows2000.

To use cryptographic applications in Windows, users must load its cryptography architecture in a standard called CryptoAPI.

So a report comes out just a month after this one and

"On Monday, Richard Schaeffer, the NSA's information assurance director, told the Senate's Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security that the agency had partnered with the developer during the creation of Windows 7 "to enhance Microsoft's operating system security guide."

Oh no do not worry about anything we do not build into our code any backdoor's.

yet:

TOM-SKYPE is in use and the GOVT of china can record your voice data of course this is the company compliance with the local GOVT!

LOL. Ubifail screwing over legitimate customers yet again. Thankfully, there are too many great games to play and not enough time, so I avoid the problem entirely simply by not purchasing (or pirating) any of their games.

Yay i can now launch cmd prompt from my website. Thanks ubisoft. Idiots.

U-Be_Sh!t being a bunch of manipulative @sshole$, as usual. No surprise there.

Seriously, what PC gamer trusts a company that deliberately delays their PC version releases, claiming some DXwhatever features being late in development, and then almost a year later, releases a bug/glitch ridden cr@p infested with a draconian DRM and still have the nerve to complain about piracy being the main reason they're not able to sell 10 million copies for each game?

Wow, that's not good. Glad I don't have this on my PC.

well at least i can get uplay to work unlike origin silent hunter 5 had no probs i have crysis 2 and bf3 cant play either cause my modem doesnt like origin lols.
