+- Your [Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/) profile information;
+- Preferences and notifications;
+- Attachments and system-generated logs you provided by [reporting a problem in Visual Studio](how-to-report-a-problem-with-visual-studio.md) or through [Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/);
+- Your votes.
+
 If **Report a problem** is initiated from Visual Studio Installer, we collect the most recent setup log.
 
 If **Report a problem** is initiated from Visual Studio, we collect one or more of the following types of data:
 
 - Watson and .NET entries from the event log
-
 - Visual Studio in-memory activity log file
-
 - PerfWatson files, if Watson collection is enabled

 > [!NOTE]
 > Log files, screenshots and recording data you send can significantly increase Microsoft's ability understand and respond to your issue.  So we recommend including them. To protect your privacy, any attached log files, screenshots and recording data are sent only to Microsoft when you provide permission by submitting the problem report with which they are included. You can see which files are included on the 'Summary' step of the 'Report a Problem' window before submitting the report. You can exclude system log files from the report by unchecking 'Attach system logs' in the 'Summary' step. For reference, see the following screenshot.
