EA's Origin EULA states: 

 

 
 2. Consent to Collection and Use of Data. You agree that EA may collect, use, store and transmit technical and related information that identifies your computer (including the Internet Protocol Address), operating system, Application usage (including but not limited to successful installation and/or removal), software, software usage and peripheral hardware, that may be gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, dynamically served content, product support and other services to you, including online services. EA may also use this information combined with personal information for marketing purposes and to improve our products and services. We may also share that data with our third party service providers in a form that does not personally identify you. IF YOU DO NOT WANT EA TO COLLECT, USE, STORE, TRANSMIT OR DISPLAY THE DATA DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE APPLICATION. This and all other data provided to EA and/or collected by EA in connection with your installation and use of this Application is collected, used, stored and transmitted in accordance with EA’s Privacy Policy located at www.ea.com. To the extent that anything in this section conflicts with the terms of EA’s Privacy Policy, the terms of the Privacy Policy shall control. 
 

 
Please stand up and tell EA that you want to have the ability to Opt-In and Opt-Out of this information gathering system that EA forces on everybody that connects to Origin. 
 
Some of EA's biggest upcoming games require that you be connected to Origin to play the game even if you purchased the DVD version:
 
 
As an example: in order to play BattleField 3 (regardless if you purchased a DVD copy or an electronic copy) you currently need to agree to allow EA / Origin the ability to gather personal information from your PC as you are forced to sign into the Origin service to play the game. EA / Origin can then sell your personal information to third parties as they see fit. 
 
Please take a stand to make EA / Origin have an Opt-In and Opt-Out option so customers can have a choice if their personal information is gathered and or sold to third parties!
