[QUOTE="Vitali Ortzi, post: 1128234, member: 57714"] you will have to check each privacy policy and interests Some may log temporarily like emsisoft quad 9 etc and some may store data longer or use it internally and maybe even externally like Norton But in general the have pretty limited information because osprey strips the url "Osprey strips down each URL of tracking parameters" So they will only have the url , IP , user agent and the user agent can be modified , IP (proxy , VPN ) so essentially they will have limited use for the data (the information collected won't be very useful for advertisers but should be more then enough for governments to pinpoint the user ) Me personally I have all providers enabled on my system Well if the providers didn't strike it immediately like malwareurl then there isn't a big chance they would block public api usage in the future another tip is to select only providers that allow public api usage wich is the majority (look for their tos ) But hell worst case and an API gets blocked you will just have to disable that provider as it will be blocked till it's removed from osprey in an update [/QUOTE]
