At Startup
When the track 'n share client is started, it connects the the track 'n share server to:

• Obtain a client id. The client id is a unique number of the client. This number is anonymous and not tied to the user account or any other personal information. The id is used for communication with the track 'n share server only and is necessary for some services.
• Check for updates. The user is automatically notified of updates and is presented a dialog when a new version of the track 'n share client is available
• Check for news items. The user is presented a dialog at startup if there is news that track 'n share considers important for users to see.
• Send anonymous usage statistics. The track 'n share client sends anonymous usage statistics to the server. The usage statistics sent are absolutely anonymous and use the client id for identification of the client. Since the track 'n share client can be used stand alone, we would like to see how many people share their trips and how much the program is used. Therefore the client uploads the total number of trips in the database and how many of those trips were uploaded.

When determining country flags
When you automatically check in which country an adventures was recorded, track 'n share will test a limited number of points along the track against a webservice. Only a location (Latitude, Longitude) is sent. The return value is a ISO code of a country (e.g. AU for Australia).

When reporting an error
Should an error occur, you will be presented with an option to send the error to the track 'n share server. This allows the crew to analyze the error and to see whether a program update is necessary to alleviate the error. The error reporting is anonymous hence there will not be any feedback. Check the forum on the website if you require assistance.

When you choose to post a message on the forum (link), a webbrowser is openend. No personal information is transmitted.
