posterr periodically reaching out to logz.nesretep.net about posterr HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi, I've disclosed this somewhere here, but I can't find it. I'll put a mention up again.

The call to logz only occurs on application startup, and does two things:

• returns the latest version number of posterr which, if different, will show an upgrade notice on your settings page and in your posterr logs.
• it returns three bits of information to me. The unique posterr install ID (a guid), the version of poster you are running, and the core features enabled. (Eg now showing, on demand, trivia, etc)

No IP numbers or sensitive information is returned to me. I use this information to roughly track the number of installs, and to see if features are being utilised or not.

Here is an except from what I capture. As you can see, nothing is traceable back to the originator. You can block the call if you wish to, but if you do, you will not get version update alerts. Plus, it makes it impossible for me to know if people are actually using posterr or not.

I hope that clarifies things. 🙂
