It should be noted that the toolbar also collects and stores information about the user's web browsing habits, which is then sent to Spigot for the purpose of suggesting services or providing ads via the toolbar. Furthermore, it is important to mention that the pdfforge Toolbar is not automatically uninstalled when PDFCreator is removed from the user's PC, and must be manually removed by the user.
