This information is here to inform web users about how YourSiteStats handles site visitor data we process on behalf of the website partners who have registered to use our data analytics services.
What Types of Information Do We Collect and Use?
Data analytics services provided by YourSiteStats do not collect or use personally identifiable information, install software on users' computers or track keystrokes. We only collect anonymous, non-personal information, such as browser type, operating system, Internet provider, IP address, website URLs, search terms used and whether users respond to an ad.
What Technology Do We Use to Collect Information?
We use two commonly used web technologies
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a web site sends to a visitor's computer and is stored in the browser. When a user returns, the site can access these cookie files to determine certain visitor information, such as how often you visit the site, which pages on the site you have viewed and how much time you spent. Cookies cannot be used to access any other data on your computer. The website does not know who a visitor is unless that person specifically tells them.
JavaScript Tags
A JavaScript tag is invisible code on a Partner's web site that allows YourSiteStats to access anonymous, non-personal visitor data and provide them with our analytic services.
Opting Out
YourSiteStats has agreements with all our Partners to ensure that visitors are kept fully aware of how anonymous, non-personal information about their visit to the site is being used. Partners agree to include a clear statement about this on their privacy page or other prominent location and include a hyperlink that allows site visitors to easily opt-out of data analysis by YourSiteStats services.
To opt-out of being included in data services provided by YourSiteStats simply use the opt-out link on our Partners site or click here. If you change computers or browsers or delete your cookies, you will need to repeat this process for each computer and in each browser.
Data Storage and Security
Even though the data YourSiteStats processes for our partners is anonymous and non-personal, security is important to us and we have implemented extensive measures to protect it.
Partners Site Content
YourSiteStats services are designed for adults operating websites with content acceptable to the general public. Before allowing a website to register for YourSiteStats services we undertake a thorough visual check of the site's content to ensure it conforms with our Terms & Conditions of Use. Please see here for full details of this but, in summary, we do not allow sites to Partner with us if their website contains content that: encourages hate of any individual or group, is obscene or indecent (including adult sites containing sexually explicit content), offers or glorifies guns, weapons or ammunition, contains spyware or malware or infringes applicable laws or regulations or the rights of any person or entity.
As all data is anonymous and non-personal we do not knowingly process data from anyone under the age of 13 and take steps to ensure that the website content of any of our partners is not designed to specifically attract visitors under the age of 13.
