Who we share your data with
Google Analytics. Here is an AI description:
Google Analytics, as a web analytics service provided by Google, is designed to collect data on user interactions with websites and apps to help site owners understand usage patterns. Importantly, Google prohibits the collection of personally identifiable information (PII)—such as names, email addresses, or precise physical addresses—through its standard implementation. Instead, it focuses on anonymized or pseudonymous data. However, some collected data (like IP addresses) may be classified as personal data under privacy laws like GDPR, depending on the context and jurisdiction.Below is a breakdown of the main types of data collected, based on Google's official documentation. Note that the exact data can vary based on how a website owner configures Analytics (e.g., via tags, SDKs, or integrations with advertising features).Key Data Categories Collected:
- Unique Identifiers:
- Pseudonymous client identifiers stored in first-party cookies (e.g., a random number like 12345.67890) to recognize returning users across sessions.
- App instance identifiers for mobile apps (a randomly generated number tied to the app installation; resets if the user clears their advertising ID).
- Device and Browser Information:
- Browser type and version.
- Device model, operating system, screen resolution, and language settings.
- This helps analyze how users access the site (e.g., mobile vs. desktop).
- IP Addresses:
- Temporarily collected to derive approximate geographic location (e.g., country or city level) and for security purposes.
- In Google Analytics 4 (GA4), IP addresses are not logged or stored; they are used briefly and then discarded or anonymized.
- Usage and Interaction Data:
- Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and navigation paths.
- Referral sources (e.g., how users arrived at the site, like from a search engine).
- Events such as clicks, form submissions, or video plays (if tracked).
- Search terms used on the site (if applicable).
- Advertising-Related Data (if enabled):
- Advertising identifiers (e.g., from Google Ads integrations) for features like remarketing or audience measurement.
- This may include data on ad interactions, but only if the site owner enables it and obtains user consent where required.
- Anonymization and Privacy: Data is collected in a way that avoids direct PII. Identifiers are random and not tied to real-world identities without additional context from the site owner. Google uses secure transmission (HTTPS) and disperses data across systems for protection.
- No Direct PII Collection: Site owners must ensure no PII is sent (e.g., via URL parameters). If PII is inadvertently included, it's the owner's responsibility, not Google's.
- User Controls: You can limit or opt out of data collection by:
- Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Managing cookie preferences in your browser.
- Adjusting ad personalization settings in your Google account (e.g., via Ads Settings).
- For apps, resetting your advertising ID.
