A feature adjustment module 104, in certain embodiments, may mimic or s copy a user's behavioral pattern in accessing a server 108 of a third-party service provider 108, to reduce a likelihood that the third-party service provider 108 may distinguish access to the server 108 by a feature adjustment module 104 from access to the server 108 by a user. For example, a feature adjustment module 104 may visit one or more locations (e.g., webpages) of a server 108 of a third-party service provider 108, even if the feature adjustment module 104 does not intend to download data from each of the one or more locations, may wait for a certain delay time between accessing different locations, may use a certain scroll pattern, or the like, to mask the feature adjustment module 104's downloading and/or aggregating of a user's data, to reduce the chances of being detected and/or blocked by the third-party service provider 108.
In one embodiment, at least a portion of a feature adjustment module 104 may be integrated with or otherwise part of another application executing on a device 102, such as a personal financial management application (e.g., computer executable code for displaying a user's financial transactions from multiple financial institutions, determining and/or displaying a user's financial budgets and/or financial goals, determining and/or displaying a user's account balances, determining and/or displaying a user's net worth, or the like), a photo viewer, a medical application, an insurance application, an accounting application, a social media application, or the like, which may use data the feature adjustment module 104 downloads from a server 108 of a third-party service provider 108.
