ATC 2020 is sending data to Google Analytics even when CEP is disabled!
As the title says, plus images to show this. This is very worrying. Even if this data is only being used by Acronis I opted NOT to do this!

I wanted to test listing C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\TrueImageHome\ga_service.exe as an untrusted program in Acronis Active Protection (AAP), but it won't let us because it says it is a critical file - likely since it is part of the True Image folder.
I bet we could just block it from running with AV and see if it has any negative consequence, or not. I also imagine we could manually rename it (offline with WinPE) which would prevent it from running, but it would likely return the next time you upgrade/update ATI 2020.

Another way to stop ga_service from running is to disable the task using the Acronis Scheduler Manager. You need to find which task it is, make it the current task and then "set enabled off".
It will be reenabled when the program is updated.
