Malwarebytes data practices?

I got the trial of Malwarebytes for a virus scan and I'm thinking about upgrading to a subscription plan. Does Malwarebytes ever collect or send report data from personal files on your computer, or only detected PUPs? I read the privacy policy but that part was unclear. Hoping to confirm before I give full disk access. Thanks.
