The new and updated data-sharing options will be released in the next couple of weeks with the upcoming 2025.2.4 update of JetBrains IDEs. Non-commercial users will get a notification about the updates in the terms of use. For holders of other types of licenses, if you never provided consent, nothing will change.

The quote given by OP is dishonest and I don't get why?

You can opt out of this collection, thq quote seems like those users are fucked and that simply is not true.

JetBrains is one of the good companies.

We are asking our users to help with this, and here’s how it works: For companies: Admins can enable data sharing at a company-wide level. To support early adopters, we’re offering a limited number of free All Products Pack subscriptions to organizations willing to participate while we explore this program. For companies that are not willing to opt in to the program, nothing changes, and as always, admins are in control. For individuals on non-commercial licenses: Data sharing is enabled by default, but you can turn it off anytime in the settings. For individuals using commercial licenses, free trials, free community licenses, or EAP builds: Nothing changes. You can still opt in via the settings if you are willing to share data with JetBrains (and your admins, if any, allow it).

The OPs quote looks pretty honest to me. This is right from the link:

You can opt out of this collection,

Right, but its OPT-IN by default. Thats bad company behavior. Let users choose if they want to OPT-IN. Don't turn it on for your users without their consent.

thq quote seems like those users are fucked and that simply is not true.

OP did not say those users are fucked. If I'm mistaken, please point out where they did.
