How is checking for updates a privacy issue? No information about you or your computer or even your installation of Atanks is sent to anyone. All Atanks does to check for an updated version is check the version number of the most recent release on-line. It then compares that release number against the version you have installed. If the on-line version is newer, Atanks displays the update message. On the server side no information is recorded, all the server knows is you downloaded the contents of a text file. And, again, you can disable update checks in the Options screen or by editing your configuration file (located in the ~/.atanks directory). Many people requested update checks be enabled by default and, as there is no information sent about you and nothing logged, this cannot be a privacy issue.
