<div>Why pray tell does vtiger contain a web bug on the user login page?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a government organisation this represents a serious privacy issue. The fact that there is no information regarding this web bug anywhere is a serious failing on the part of the vtiger team.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It would be a simple matter to place a button on the install screen to OPT IN for the collection of installation statistics but to place it surreptitiously on the login page phoning home every time a user logs in to the application is a serious issue.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This has caused me serious embarrassment. Some of our applications are in house secure applications and the potential for inadvertent information leakage is HUGE.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I cannot express my disappointment enough. What were you thinking!</div>
