Also, when you re-open your journal after the update you'll see a window asking your permission to collect anonymous usage statistics. That means strictly what it says: if you click 'Agree', it lets us keep running totals of software usage, but doesn't send any information about you or your readings.
Nothing half so involved - nothing about how you use the software at all, just whether or not you open it. And if you do, whether your copy is licensed and whether you're on Windows or Mac.What aspect of usage are you aiming to measure ? Frequency of use, or frequency of searching or frequency of looking up various features.
Thanks, Liselle. I didn't go into this in the email because there's a link to that page from the consent box.
Trojina, if you click the link in Liselle's post, or in the consent box, you will get to the page. It's part of the Knowledgebase, which you'll find via Help > View Help in the Journal's main menu.
what version it is
[*]whether it’s licensed
[*]how long it’s been installed for, and
[*]whether it’s on a Windows or Mac computer

It's a separate thing from pinging for updates, because pinging means your computer asks Clarity if there's a new version, but Clarity doesn't take any notice of when/ whether you do this. (Well, I suppose something might be buried 5 miles deep in the server logs, but I haven't downloaded those for years.) The anonymous stats involve your installation actually sending some information to be stored at Clarity, along the lines of '1 person opened a licensed copy of version 2.4 on Windows this month.'
(Actually I think it might have been legal to collect this data without asking permission, because nothing about it is personally identifiable - it doesn't even collect an IP address. But we think unannounced data collection of any description is creepy, hence the consent box.)
Yes, agreed...Also it's highly relevant to whether someone consents or not, at least it's relevant to whether I consent or not.
You get my drift ?
...but I think it's clickable before consenting, as far as I know?That's a bit late by then though because one needs to know what it's for before agreeing but if you only see it once you have agreed then the people who are unsure can't find out.
This was years ago when she was younger. Now she's not interested.that can't be actual snow since Tibbles does not go out ?
