Site Analytics
We reserve the right to have several different analytic platforms that collect different types of data, but none of which collect personal identifying information.
The type of data we collect and analyze includes, but isn’t limited to:
- How you got to our website, including keywords used in a search engine of the link you clicked to bring you to the site.

Our team uses this information to understand better how our readers react to our pages, blogs, and reviews. It helps us improve pages that don’t connect with readers and find bugs, broken links, and buttons that we might have missed otherwise.
All the data is entered into our data analysis system without any possible way of connecting it back to the original user. Meaning we can’t see the IP address of each individual user, only that a certain number of people clicked the link, visited the page, or came from a certain region.
The anonymous analytical data is stored on a secure platform and can only be accessed by specific employees in our organization. With that being said, we still will not share any of the data we collect with anyone unless required to do so by our local laws.
