But, they said, they are not logging every keystroke as a prominent critic suggested.<\/p>\n<p>The data, which gets downloaded from consumers\u2019 phones roughly once a day, is encrypted during transit and also provided  to carriers to enhance the \u201cuser experience,\u201d these executives said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do recognize the power and value of this data,\u201d Andrew Coward, the chief marketing officer, said. \u201cWe\u2019re very aware that this information is sensitive.
