Following the allegation of Joomla extension direction about having call-home in our application we decided to clarify all the instances when the application make a call to our server and what information is provided.
Joobi applications do not collect any user information nor restrict the use of the application with a license.
There are 3 instances where the application might make a call to Joobi server:
1. To check for update:
What information is sent:
* The list of Joobi applications installed with version number
* The website URL requesting for update.
The check for update can be turn off in the General Preferences. This call is similar to what Joomla check for update does.
2. When doing online update through our distribution server:
What information is sent:
* The list of Joobi application to update with version number
* the website URL requesting for update.
* the php and sql version of the server, to check for compatibility and deliver the appropriate package and version.
The online update can be turned off in the general preferences and need to be manually activated.
3. When you request for a FREE cron task
What information is sent:
* The URL of the site which request a free cron task.
This is something that the admin need to manually request for by changing the appropriate preferences in the general preferences.
There is no license which expire or restrict the user of Joobi applications. Only an API key is required to get the latest update and support for the online installation. People who choose to not use the online installation, can do a manual installation by uploading the zip file.
