Abstract
A computer-based method of reducing or limiting data transmissions from a computer to a remote network destination includes receiving an indication, at an agent on a computer, that a recent user activity has occurred at the computer. The indication typically includes data relevant to user context when the user activity occurred. The method further includes determining, with the agent, whether the data relevant to the user's context when the user activity occurred indicates that a change in user context relative to a user activity at the computer immediately prior to the recent user activity and conditioning a transmission of data relevant to the recent user activity from the computer to a remote network destination based on an outcome of the determination.
