> The frequency with which I use my mouse to click buttons vs. keyboard shortcuts to invoke functionality in a program is not personal information It absolutely can be uniquely tied to you. Whether or not it is personal information doesn't matter: it is still spyware. > This is not private information. Yes it is. What I do on my own computer is absolutely private information. > Tell me how the Audacity developers knowing that I press a sequence of three buttons in a row enables them to determine that I'm single, or how tall I am, or that I like Polish TV dramas, or literally any other personal information? It's not just three buttons in a row. It's every button over the lifetime of the installation. It's uniquely what buttons you press, where, how long you might hold the mouse button down, what songs you listen to, in what order, did you double-click them or drag them to a playlist or go through a menu; do you set a playlist and forget it or do you interact with the playlist often? Just because you are unable to see how to do it doesn't mean that it can't be done.
