Office 365 for MAC - Version 16.13, 180513
Every time I open Excel or Word, a pop up appears asking me if I want to
SHARE HOW YOU USE OFFICE
No I do not want to share. I do not want to see this pop up every time I open Word and every time I open Excel.
How can I stop this pop up from appearing?
Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.

Open one of the office applications and go to Help > Check for updates.
How Do I get this update so that I can click 'No'? I'm assuming clicking 'No' means no data to be sent to Microsoft and no more pop-up. (Else am I expecting too much.)
I got an update notification yesterday. There is now a no option!
I have tried MS Support chat, but the two people I have tried were not even aware of the problem and suggested generic troubleshooting steps rather than specific solutions.
Does MS monitor this forum and is MS aware of the issue?
FYI everyone on OSX check under Word->Preferences->Security and Privacy, although I never selected an option and always closed the pop-up each frustrating time I open Word the option is selected to send full diagnostic data? Worst part is theres no option to not select sending MS your data, where is the opt-out MS?
