Abstract

User input actions from one or more user input devices can be received, and unfiltered user input information about the user input actions can be collected at a client computing environment. The unfiltered user input information can be filtered to produce filtered user input information. The filtered user input information can exclude personal information and include non-personal information. In addition, a user profile can be created using the filtered user input information.
