Something I heard a while back but have never had confirmed is that the Nvidia driver sends the content of every window title to Nvidia.

Does anyone know if that is true?

This was when you had to create an account for GeForce Experience and they started sending crash stats.

Some people checked it with wireshark at the time and didn’t find anything other than what was stated. [0]
