Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
NVDA is designed to operate locally without collecting user data. However, NVDA does provide logging capabilities and due to its privileged access to the user’s machine 'Debug' or 'Input/Output' logging levels can capture potentially sensitive information (eg passwords, PII) on the user's machine.
Describe the solution you'd like
Selecting debugging levels above 'Info' should display a warning to the user regarding the storage of sensitive data on their machine. This warning should be consistent with what is written in the user guide. The user guide should cover the case of a user selecting elevated debugging levels through the CLI.
Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
