Illustrator is spying on me. Recording my screen without permission MACOS

[ivan_7227]

Adobe software is spying on me. It is recording my screen without my permission again and again. and no it is not something that I haven't previously disabled on settings. It is getting activated again! I never give my permission for this. and it is breaking my privacy. Even with the permission disabled and app sometimes offline it continues to record the screen. 

I have googled similar problems from other people they just say that they have to do it to get the colors with is lie. It works perfectly without a need to record the screen. It is a direct interference with my privacy.
Anyone has any idea how to disable that? I have tried everything.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

How do you find out that it is actually recording?

The permission is need to pick up colors from placed images and gradients.

you don't need any permission to record the screen in order to extract the color as you have all the colors within the file / app code. call it whatever. you never needed to record a screen before, al lthe information is there. the screen record never was necessary. this is an excuse to get access to whole screen and continuous recordings.

secondly I never gave my permission for screen recording, and it is reappearing as activated, even after me disabling it — meaning that the app is also outpassing the system settings without my permission. You see a sample on the screenshot provided — this is something that should never happen.

This is a public forum with 95% of people not being staff. The colors in placed images have always been calculated from the screen representation. ANd that permission was required, has been caused by a Mac OS update some years back.

If you want Illustrator to ask for permission, please make a feature request.

Which version of MacOS and Illustrator are you using?

If I turn off the setting to record my screen, Illustrator can still pick up colors with the eyedropper from within the document. If I move the eyedropper outside the Illustrator window it does not pick up colors from my screen.
