Abstract

This paper presents a model for a software component that monitors a user's interaction with a computer system and distributes summaries of that interaction to remote repositories. We illustrate the model with a prototype, implemented as a Web browser extension, for recording temporal aspects of Web browsing, such as time spent reading a page or keeping it open. To give the user control over privacy exposure and network resource usage that are inherent in remote monitoring, our design allows the user to specify how detailed the summaries are and who they are sent to.
