You can find the Terms of Use and Privacy Agreement on hxxp://search.htrackmyflight[.]co/Home/Privacy? and hxxp://search.htrackmyflight[.]co/Home/Terms?. The Track My Flight extension is an ad-supported product that aims to collect information about your online activity. The data collected by the Track My Flight extension includes your Internet history, themes, installed Web apps and bookmarks collection. The Track My Flight New Tab does not offer in-house technologies dedicated to tracking your flights. Instead, Web surfers are shown links to Google.com/flights, Flightstats.com/go/Home/home.do, Airportparking.com, Hotels.com and Hertz.com/rentacar/reservation/. A quick search online can provide you with more resources than the Track My Flight New Tab. The Track My Flight New Tab can be loaded via hxxp://search.htrackmyflight[.]co and you don't need to install the associated extension. You might want to know that Track My Flight is a renamed version of the BookmyFlight extension that Polarity has released earlier. Both products are perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUPs), which offer limited resources, load targeted advertisements and cause browser redirects. You can remove the Track My Flight New Tab and connected tracking cookies using a credible anti-spyware scanner.
