Wakoopa tracker is a spyware?

Is Wakoopa tracker a spyware application disguised as software usage aggregator?

Wakoopa tracker tracks your application and web usage, feeding the names of application and websites you frequently use to their database. Now I don't have any complaints against their app tracker, but I wonder how do they know which websites I'm visiting. May be they are logging the keys I enter on my browser address bar and thus manage to discover website addresses. If this is the procedure they are taking, there is a lot more to be feared with.

If Wakoopa is logging our keystrokes using it's little tracking application, it might also keep track of our username and passwords entered from the browsers. So much for our online privacy, secretly extracting passwords from an user without their consent is not a fair way to do business. Add other confidential documents like credit card numbers etc. to it, Wakoopa tracker can show a user his doomsday.
