Plain English. No surprises.

What We Collect

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • Time spent on pages and specific sections
  • Clicks on key elements (buttons, links)
  • Referring URL and UTM campaign parameters
  • Rough geographic location (country/region level)
  • Device type (mobile/tablet/desktop) and viewport size
  • A daily-rotating hashed identifier derived from your IP address

What We Don't Collect

  • No cookies — we don't set any cookies for analytics
  • No personal information — we don't collect names, emails, or account data through analytics
  • No third-party trackers — no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no ad networks
  • No fingerprinting — we don't use browser fingerprinting techniques
  • No raw IP addresses — IPs are hashed with a daily rotating salt and the original is never stored

How We Use This Data

  • Understanding which content and documentation is most valuable
  • Improving site navigation and user experience
  • Measuring the effectiveness of our open source communications
  • We never sell, share, or monetize this data

How It Works

  • We use a lightweight, first-party analytics script that sends events to our own infrastructure
  • Data is stored in our own database — no third-party services process your data
  • IP addresses are hashed server-side with a daily rotating salt before storage — the raw IP is never persisted
  • Page unload events use the navigator.sendBeacon() API for reliable, non-blocking delivery

Your Rights

  • This data is anonymous and cannot be linked back to you
  • If you use an ad blocker or privacy extension, our analytics may be blocked — that's fine
