Oracle provides Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) with some of its programs. The OCM is a tool that assists in the collection and transmission of your configuration data to Oracle to enable us to respond more efficiently to your service requests. The OCM tool will connect to Oracle over the internet. You may not receive a separate notice upon connection. You may turn the OCM tool off, however we strongly discourage this as it impedes our ability to provide services to you. More information on the tool is available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/ocm.html. By using this tool, you consent to the transmission of your configuration information to Oracle.

OCM will not access, collect or store any personally identifiable information (except for technical support contact information) or business data files residing in your software environment. Configuration data provided to Oracle by software tools will be stored in password-protected repositories. It will be used to assist in resolving service requests and to provide recommendations regarding configuration of your environment and deployment of programs. In addition, because the configuration information will be updated, it may be used by Oracle to assist you in managing your Oracle product portfolio, for license and services compliance and to help Oracle improve upon product and service offerings for you
