While you are patiently waiting, i found some interesting excepts from nVidia's GeForce Experience License Agreement.
Apparently, the wording is reflected in the "EULA.txt" included with the latest Release. Before downloading, a License Agreement with seemingly different wording is provided. http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDow … hp?lang=us
nVidia wrote:"3. CONSENT TO COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
Customer hereby acknowledges that the SOFTWARE accesses and collects non-personally identifiable information about Customer and CUSTOMER SYSTEM as well as configures CUSTOMER SYSTEM in order to (a) properly optimize such system for use with the SOFTWARE, (b) deliver content through the SOFTWARE, and (c) improve NVIDIA products and services.
Information collected by the SOFTWARE includes CUSTOMER SYSTEM'S (a) hardware configuration, (b) operating system and driver configuration, (c) installed games, (d) game settings, performance, and usage data, and (e) usage metrics of the SOFTWARE.

"4 TERMINATION"
...
"Defensive Suspension. If Customer commences or participates in any legal proceeding against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate all license grants and any other rights provided under this LICENSE during the pendency of such legal proceedings."
...
"6. APPLICABLE LAW
This LICENSE shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be construed pursuant to, the laws of the State of Delaware. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed. The state and or federal courts residing in Santa Clara County, California shall have exclusive jurisdiction"...

Unfortunately, that link referred to in the License Agreement included in the latest Release (v320.49) takes one elsewhere instead.

nVidia wrote:"Q: What is UpdatusUser and why does GeForce Experience create this account?
Beginning with Release 270 drivers for desktops, when NVIDIA Update or GeForce Experience is installed, the software creates the UpdatusUser account. This account runs the NVIDIA Update service for updating drivers and application profiles through the NVIDIA server. The service cannot be run without this account.
NVIDIA has taken every precaution to make the driver implementation of UpdatusUser as secure as possible. This implementation has been audited by Veracode (www.veracode.com), a third party security auditor, and has been given a rating of "Best". NVIDIA Update and GeForce Experience, with the UpdatusUser account, is considered a low security risk implementation."
It would seem that if one wants to use the Updater for the latest Releases, one must install GeForce Experience and the requisite Dot.NET 4.
I would hope that nVidia corrects this potential omission and make this License Agreement publicly viewable if they have not yet done so.
