The section below outlines the following TippingPoint SMS features that collect data, the data transmitted, and their location on the product console where you can disable the features:
- TMC Information Share
- Backup
TMC Information Share
TMC Information Share allows users to configure what data is sent to TMC (TippingPoint Management Center) such as ip address and usage and health information on deployments and optionally the types of attack traffic you are seeing.
| Data collected | IP Address |
|---|---|
| Console Location | Toolbar > Edit > Preferences > TMC Information Share |
| Console settings | Opt-in to enable:

Backup
Backup allows the user to send a complete backup of the SMS system to specified locations (such as TippingPoint Support) for analysis.
An SMS backup may include all configured properties of the system, including items like IP addresses, usernames, and email addresses. Backup data is only sent to destinations that the user controls. It is highlighted here because it is a complete snapshot of the SMS system that can contain data covered by GDPR.
| Data Collected |
|
|---|---|
| Console Location | Admin > Database > Backup > Backup Now |
| Console Settings | Opt-in by configuring via the Backup wizard and physically sending the backup file.
