Depends on what you think it means.
If you opted-in for the Customer Experience Improvement Program, then it records a bunch of data about your system and how you use it and uploads it to Microsoft.
A couple of key points:
1) It's opt-in, so it's not sending data unless you said to do so.
2) It's anonymous. It does not collect any information that can be used to identify you.
