Abstract
Systems and methods for handling a crash of a process running on an operating system (OS) of a client are provided. In some aspects, a method includes generating crash data based on a dump file associated with the crash of the process. The crash data is associated with a first user logged in to the OS at the time of the crash. The method also includes storing the crash data in a cryptographically secure location on the client such that the crash data persists across reboot of the client. The method also includes preventing the crash data from being sent to an analysis server when the first user is not logged in to the OS.
