This data will be collected regardless of browser, device, or app used to access our services. We do not buy or otherwise receive data from data brokers.

Raw data such as pages visited, anonymized visitor IPs, and visitor actions will be retained for 60 days. In special circumstances—such as extended investigations regarding a technical attack—we may preserve logged data for longer periods for analysis. We store aggregate statistics about use of the websites and services we host indefinitely, but those statistics do not include data identifiable to you personally.
You can opt out of some website tracking we do with Matomo using the form below. Our Matomo instance is blocked by most ad-blockers, so users blocking the domain `stats.privacytools.io` will not need to separately opt-out with the form below. Our Matomo instance also respects the Do Not Track (DNT) setting in your browser, so users with DNT enabled will not need to complete this form. Limited data may still be collected via server-side logs after opting out here, but this data cannot be used to identify you.

We use your account data to identify you on the website, and to create pages specific to you, such as your profile page. We will also use your account data to publish a public profile for you on our services.
Onsome websites and services you may provide additional information for your account, such as a short biography, avatar, your location, or your birthday. We make that information available to everyone who can access the website or service in question. This information is not required to use any of our services, and can be erased at any time.
We will store your account data as long as your account remains open. After closing an account, we may retain some or all of your account data in the form of backups or archives for up to 90 days.
When you use services provided by {{ site.name }} your data is shared with Aragon Ventures LLC, in order to facilitate their hosting obligations.
