<paragraph id="par_id3154366" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">The crash report sends information about the error type that caused the crash and the process memory contents at the time of the crash. The memory contents include: a list of loaded libraries and their version number; a list of the current threads with the contents of their stack memory and processor register states. The memory trace is gathered locally by standard system tools: <literal>dbghelp.dll</literal> on Windows systems; <literal>clone()</literal>, <literal>ptrace()</literal> and <literal>/proc</literal> directory on Linux systems; Apple's Crash Reporter on Mac systems.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id731607157836334">Information is also sent about the %PRODUCTNAME version, the operating system name and version, and the computing hardware (CPU type and features; total RAM memory size; graphics device and driver).</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3150504" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">The crash report is anonymous. No identification information is sent and no document content is sent. The report data are sent as a multipart HTTP POST request.</paragraph>
