Before making this too big issue, please go to site you downloaded pr1.2 and read eula and privacy statement there.

You didn't read them when downloading ? Shame, since otherwise you would known that by downloading you agreed those terms and thus gave permission for data collecting.

And on Software agreement; software is provided as it is. If automatic registration is part of PR1.2, then you either accept that or you won't upgrade, simple as it is.
