Who said you said that? If you had done the research you would have not mentioned ADs. Where in the world does one get the idea they can places ADs on the hardware? Your commentary looks very very low effort snide attempt at humor. There is zero substance in the post as there isn't anything to discuss in it.
> Wacom’s privacy policy does say that they only want this data for product development purposes, and on this point I do actually believe them.
That piece from the post alone makes me wonder if you read that in the post as well before you commented. There are many things one can do with data, assuming they could use it for advertising with no reasoning behind it is very low effort.
FWIW, I don't use a Wacom tablet but my daughter does. I personally use Procreate on an iPad Pro.
