The toolbar does NOT SPY after the
user and does not transfer any personally identifiable
information such as a name or an E-mail address, ensuring
complete anonymity for users.
When used, the toolbar sends unidentifiable usage statistics
regarding usage of its features to Conduit's servers
(Conduit is the service that powers the toolbar). The
statistics are completely anonymous, do not contain any
personal identification or information in a manner that can
identify a user, and no IP addresses are stored. Users are
allowed to disable statistical data transfer at any given
time. We do not match individual users with their specific
Web or toolbar usage and don't share the specifics with
anybody. A unique id is used solely for the purpose of
knowing how many people are actively using the toolbar and
it is not transferred along with any specific usage
information. This unique id is not transmitted during any
other use of the toolbar.
All statistic
information is securely stored on Conduit.com and is
accessible only to us.
This information is used in order to improve the overall
toolbar experience based on how the toolbar is being used.
This is the usage information that is transferred during use
of the toolbar:

Bottom line: the toolbar does NOT SPY after users . Anonymous
usage statistics are sent to Conduit.com when the toolbar is used.
These unidentifiable statistics are accessible only to us in the
form of analysis reports that are used in order to improve the
toolbar based on how it is being used by the entire community.
