Justification and cause: Customer & device data privacy option - feature (Mentioned in SCG user guide page no. 60) https://dl.dell.com/content/manual54603293-secure-connect-gateway-5-x-virtual-edition-user-s-guide.pdf?language=en-us

In the Customer & device data privacy section, by default, the option to include identification information is selected. But, if you do not want to include the information, clear the checkbox. When the checkbox is cleared, the hostname and IP address in your SMTP mails are masked for privacy. NOTE: If you clear the checkbox, the collection of logs and diagnostic data are automatically disabled. Also, some of the data about your company network including the system log is not sent to the backend. This may prevent technical support from resolving issues that may occur on your devices.
