It is time for myTrack to disclose what data is transferred between a user's computer and the myTrack servers. When you start the myTrack software, it usually starts quickly. Occasionally, however, it does something very different. The initial splash screen displays a series of numbers at the bottom, the software takes an extra minute to start up, and during that time, a tremendous amount of information is transferred over the network. I can see this because the data light on my ethernet connector is on almost solid during this time. (Folks using a modem should watch your modem control panel or data indicator to see the amount of data being transferred.) Has anyone tried to capture the data that is transferred over the network during this time to examine its contents? It is time for the company to disclose what they are transferring. Are they transferring information from my computer? If so, exactly what is it?
