Hours played - how do I clear this data? I don't want it tracked

[lozzbyrne]

How do I delete or clear the record of hours played and stop it being recorded in future? 

I absolutely hate that log - it feels like a complete invasion of privacy. 

I don't want to see it and I don't want other people to see it/ It's incredibly uncomfortable to see any part of your life tracked like that without consent. 

Please remove this feature immediately.

@lozzbyrne  This data can't be cleared.  And the only way to stop it from recording is to put Origin in offline mode before launching your game(s).

More generally, this is a common, perhaps universal, feature in game launchers, and one that most users either appreciate or at least don't object to much.  So it's very unlikely that EA would remove it.
