As you have already noticed Full Tilt do now allow any form of datamining and i would advise you, for your interest, not to datamine with any programs as it is against their TOCs and the great risk of having your account banned due to this is not worthwhile in my opinion.
Does using elephant imply data mining? like saving the stats and hand histories for the games I am in? I guess I won't be using idle miner, but I still want to use elephant 0_0
You will be fine to use Elephant for the purposes of tracking your session details, like importing hands that you are playing in and the use of the HUD.

Hello mChavez,
The main difference between tracking hands with Elephant and datamining with Elephant is whether you are currently playing at the table you are collecting hands from.
If you have Elephant running and are watching 20 tables and importing the hand histories you are datamining which is forbidden. If you are playing at 20 tables and have Elephant running you are tracking your hands - which is allowed
I would not recommend you to purchase and/or download external databases as this is still classed as breaking Full Tilt's TOC and can as such lead to accounts being closed if it is discovered that you are using these.
We no longer allow the sharing of PokerStars HandHistories and HandHistories for other sites are currently being reviewed as well.
As for your FT account status, it is reviewed every time FullTilt sends us their latest lists.
poker tracker softwares are allowed but not for data mining,
you can see many topic about pokertracker3 and holdemManager in forum of full tilt poker, but I don't see any topic about elephant,
so sorry ps but IMO, it is safer to use PT3 or HM (and it cost $$$ to buy) than using elephant
As previously stated by myself and SoyCD it is perfectly safe to use Elephant on Full Tilt so long as you are using it to import HH's from tables that you are actually participating in and also for using the HUD.
I personally have used Elephant on Full Tilt using the HUD and for importing my HH's from those tables i am sat at and i have never had any problems.
