Let me elaborate.
My high school has given the entire class school registered iPad's to use for our classes this year. (I'm not exactly sure the whole process of registering them goes.)
I tend to search things that are very personal, and probably wouldn't search them normally unless I was using my own personal computer. But there are times where I can't have access to it, and using the iPad to search it is the next best thing, but I'm extremely worried about privacy.
Onto the base of the question:
How exactly is browsing history traced/tracked via any computer/smartphone/tablet? I know that browsing history is easily traceable after it is deleted from your browser, by accessing logs stored on your Wi-Fi Router Modem. I read somewhere that browsing history is also stored on your computer's hard drive/some form of data storage, but I'm not exactly sure. Could someone elaborate on this?
Example: My situation is that, if I was searching up something personal on my iPad (ON THE SCHOOL'S NETWORK), could it be tracked by accessing the school's modem logs, even if I deleted the history on the iPad's browser application? (I think the answer is yes but I need to make sure.)
Also, if I was connected to my own personal Wi-Fi at home, (which I do) could my browsing history still be collected through the iPad in any sort of way? Or is the browsing history collected only through the networking logs.
Thanks for reading this length question.
