User Manual of TrackThink
Overview
TrackThink was build with privacy as the first issue to keep in mind. Therefore, along with the logging functionalities, the user can edit the logs and remove the ones that he/she wants to hide.
The extension can be disabled from the extension page of the browser (Chrome, Bave, and Vivaldi). However, if by accident the user visited website that are not related to solving programming problems, he/she can remove these logs. Later, the user can download the logs in a csv file and can even proceed to more editing for a total protection of the user’s privacy.
If you want to know more about our privacy policy and handling of data please look at the privacy policy page.
