Update Notifications
The process of checking for a new version happens at most once a day and takes at most three seconds enforced by an internal time-out.
\note The runtime of your application might be slightly affected by the process of checkng the version. You might want to temporarily switch off the option while doing sensible performance measurements (--version-check 0).
The following information is transmitted to the servers solely via the URL:
- The application name and its version
- The SeqAn version that the application was built with
- The operating system type (Linux, macOS, Windows or BSD)
- The CPU type (32 or 64bit)
The purpose of this transmission is to provide accurate update data for your app. Beyond the update information, we may count the total number of version requests and may also resolve them to geographical regions. This may be used for anonymized analysis by the SeqAn team, but raw data is never shared with third parties.
\attention There is no form of user identification and no tracking. IP-Addresses are never stored permanently. SeqAn collects no information regarding your use of the application, like selected options or arguments provided, and of course no information on your files!
