Privacy Settings
Some of the features of Cisco Business Dashboard Lite require the use of online services hosted by Cisco and result in the sharing of certain information with Cisco. These services include:
-
Lifecycle Reporting—This feature includes the generation of the Lifecycle Report, End of Life Report and Maintenance Report in Cisco Business Dashboard Lite. Lifecycle Reporting is enabled by default.
-
Software Updates— Notification of the availability of software updates for network devices, and the ability to have those updates automatically applied. Software Updates are enabled by default.
All of these features are subject to the Cisco Privacy Policy and you may enable or disable them at any time. The Privacy Settings page is displayed during the initial setup of the Dashboard, allowing you to disable any of the default enabled features prior to any network data being collected. More detail for each of these features and the information shared may be found below.
Lifecycle Reporting
Cisco Business Dashboard Lite provides information on the lifecycle state of each of the Cisco devices in the network. In order to do this, the Dashboard must provide Cisco with the product ID, serial number and hardware and software versions for each Cisco device. The IP address of the Dashboard may also be recorded. No personal or sensitive information will be intentionally collected during this process.
To disable the generation of lifecycle reports, follow the steps below.
-
Navigate to System>Privacy Settings.
-
Un-check the check boxes for the reports you wish to disable.
-
Click Save.
Software Updates
Use of this feature requires Cisco Business Dashboard Lite to send the product ID and hardware and software version information for each device to Cisco. Your local IP address may also be recorded. No personal or sensitive information will be intentionally collected during this process.
To disable the use of automatic software updates, do the following:
-
Navigate to System>Privacy Settings.
