Abstract

Concerns over automatically tracking users' actions while respecting consent, privacy and users' rights motivated the development of CleverTracker. CleverTracker is a remote action-tracking software framework, which researchers can use to collect data about users' interactions with applications while respecting ethical issues. Users are in control of the recording process (through start and stop functionality), can opt out from it and can view the collected data. The open source framework is designed to support desktop, web application and multiple programming languages.
