Opt out is to not use my client. Case closed.
This is your opt out. This version of the Purus Pasta Client is free of any and all information gathering!
Here is the commit (I know its not entirely clean, please no judgement).

The client is no longer ran through a launcher. It is now ran by using the run.bat file provided in the folder. If any questions occur in getting it to run I'll take a quick peek here, if there are any problems with crashing or ethical decisions please send them over to shubla at viewtopic.php?f=49&t=43840
If by popular demand the old APX or Verdan map system is wanted back in I'll be glad to add in during my free time.
Due to an increased interest in using a client that does not blindly send information I have seen an increase in questions on how to run this. I am going to put forward a quick FAQ of commonly ran into issues.
FAQ
Help my map does not work when transferring over!
When I originally released this I was unaware that Shubla had changed the directory related to the maps. I have included in the download now a second bat file to run from. This bat file which I have named "run_with_puru_params" will set the client to correctly point towards your old map files. There is nothing wrong with using this bat and it should be the preferred one to load if you want your data to be there. You don't need to redownload the client to fix this just set the run.bat file to read as
start java -Xms1G -Xmx2G -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false -Dhaven.defserv=game.havenandhearth.com -Dhaven.resurl=https://game.havenandhearth.com/res/ -Dhaven.screenurl=http://game.havenandhearth.com/mt/ss -Dhaven.cachebase=http://game.havenandhearth.com/render/ -Dhaven.mapbase=http://game.havenandhearth.com/java/ -Dhaven.fullscreen=off -jar hafen.jar
Help Java isn't working! Help the client just straight crashes! Or any other immediate high level issues that prevents the client from running.
Due to an increased interest in using a client that does not blindly send information I have seen an increase in questions on how to run this. I am going to put forward a quick FAQ of commonly ran into issues.
First common issue I've seen is the lack of Java 11. This client was compiled to run with Java 11 and may not work on systems still using Java 8. You may see errors talking about how the client was compiled for a newer version. The fix to this problem is simple. Install Java 11.
To identify and diagnose this problem is simple. If you are on windows Load up Command Prompt. You can do this either by typing cmd in the Windows start search or by pressing the "Windows key" + R -> type cmd and then hit enter.
Type the following
java -version
You should see some text appear.
If you are told that java doesn't exist you will need to install Java11 and are free to skip to the next section.
Verifying the Java version
You will see a small block of text if this was successful.
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9, mixed mode)
Notice how it says 11 everywhere? That's the sign that Java11 is configured properly on your system. If it says Java 1.8 or Java 16 (The newest version of Java seems to have issues with the client.) Please install Java11.
If you have installed Java11 but it still says Java1.8 or any other version, your Environmental Variables may need to be set. You can search on Google or your platform of choice for how to do this. I'll post to one I believe covers it well enough.

To install Java11 you may visit the following URL https://adoptopenjdk.net/
You will want to download the appropriate OS version of OpenJDK 11 (LTS) with HotSpot as the VM.
If you still have any issues related to the Java install you can reach in this post or hit me up in discord.
