About the Keyword Alert

When a nym is selected, Freedom® scans outgoing Internet traffic for potentially sensitive information. Sensitive information is defined as words contained in the Keyword Alert list. Freedom alerts you if it detects that you are about to release sensitive information and lets you choose how to proceed. The Keyword Alert List applies globally to all nyms for all outgoing email, web requests, web forms, news postings, and IRC connections. Tasks related to the Keyword Alert are listed below.

To open the Keyword Alert dialog box, open the Preferences dialog box and click Keyword Alert.

IMPORTANT: The Keyword Alert feature only scans plain, unencrypted text.
