And, ideally, make the notification contain text that makes the application's ongoing behavior completely clear, e.g.

"Your Internet browsing and application usage are being monitored by EverAccountable, and will be reported to <email addresses>."

If the application's intent is indeed to keep its users "accountable", then surely reminding the user that they are being tracked, and by whom, should only enhance this purpose.
