Confidentiality/protection of data

[David McFarlane]

Jonathan,

Ah, perhaps you did not mean your question generally, but instead 
specifically about the E-Prime "ANT" downloadable from that site.  In 
that case, it all depends on how they programmed their ANT.  I  very 
highly doubt that they programmed that to send data through a server, 
but to really know you would have to contact them directly, and/or 
download the program and look at it and test it yourself.

Best,
-- David McFarlane
