Block data collection from Adobe Document Service PDF embed API

I am exploring Adobe Document Service PDF embed API and have a question on data security

 

 As per FAQ Article on link

https://community.adobe.com/t5/document-services-apis/faq-for-document-services-pdf-embed-api/td-p/10726141?page=1

 SECURITY QUESTIONS

When Adobe Analytics is not enabled by the SuiteID and no other events are enabled, does Adobe collect any data about the PDF being viewed.

  • The PDF Embed API  stores user settings in client-side browser's local storage for things such as color for annotation. As far as analytics is concerned, PDF Embed ONLY gathers standard anonymous usage and data parameters like locations, timezone, pdf file lang, file name, file size, no of pages, etc.. It doesn't store any user-generated content in analytics and never shares user-generated content with Adobe servers.

 

 My Question is

 

 Is there any way, we can suppress altogether sending data to adobe servers, even if it is for anonymous usage or data parameters.

 If this is not available with free service, Please let us if their are any paid options that enable blocking sending data outside completely

    No, currently there is no way to suppress anonymous product usage analytics. I shall let my colleague @Arpan Bhattacharya provide more information about paid option but perhaps there aren't any at this point of time.
