Who’s Tracking You? Use This New Service to Find Out
August 15, 2026
Back to all postsRecently, a new service called 'AdGuard Telemetry Protection' has been introduced, designed to help users identify and block trackers on their devices. These trackers, often embedded in websites, collect data about your online activity, potentially compromising user privacy. For Canadian businesses, this is particularly relevant as the increase in remote work due to the pandemic has expanded the digital footprint of SMBs, making them more susceptible to privacy breaches. AdGuard Telemetry Protection offers a solution by scanning websites for trackers and providing users with the option to block them, enhancing online privacy and security for both businesses and individuals. This service can be particularly useful in ensuring compliance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which requires businesses to protect personal information in their custody or control.
