Data We Collect

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to measure aggregate site traffic. This includes page views, session duration, approximate geographic region (country and city level), and device type. We do not collect names, email addresses, or personally identifiable information through analytics.

Aggregate event data from Google Analytics is also exported to Google BigQuery for research use. The BigQuery data is used only for internal trajectory analysis and network health reports, is not shared with third parties, and is not used for advertising.

What We Don't Do

We do not sell data. We do not run advertising. We do not collect financial information. We do not use retargeting. We do not share any user data with attorneys, law firms, creditors, debt collectors, or legal service providers.

Specifically, we do not enable Google Signals, Google Ads integration, User-ID collection, or any cross-device tracking feature in Google Analytics. GA4 operates in aggregate-traffic-measurement mode only on this site.

Cookies

We use only first-party cookies set by Google Analytics for aggregate traffic measurement. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies.
