Gathering non personal information

[in2fun]

I logged into wow just now to see if maybe a lil patch to download. Knowing servers still down.
But never know and like to get jump start on any new content need to download.
Well after login and as game loading I got a thing came up said "Gathering non personal information"
Is this something new or have I just missed it before?
