Was hoping it would be a bit longer before this submerged, but as it has so will answer any questions to avoid misinformation.
If the information about the processes / data collected is properly encrypted it would make it much safer for players and would no longer be readable. I can say that the issue is at least being monitored / looked into for the time being.
It is only collected once when going on a character, not throughout being connected. If you feel that it's exposing your privacy or wish for an application to not be monitored, just open it after this point. It is mainly to see what is currently opened when you're first launching MapleStory likely to check for hacking clients and other malicious tools.

I don't get why they think this will help, either. It is pretty much just a local scan, just done remotely. If they can work around a program meant to scan your computer for illicit content, I'm sure they can stop or edit the sending of a packet to a remote server to do that same thing.
