Privacy Policy

What we collect

When someone visits a website using Cheap Web Analytics, we collect the following data points:

  • Page URL and pathname
  • Referrer (where the visitor came from)
  • Country (derived from server headers, not GPS)
  • Device type (mobile, tablet, or desktop)
  • Browser name
  • Time spent on page

No cookies

We do not use cookies or any other persistent identifiers to track visitors. There is no cookie banner needed when using Cheap Web Analytics.

No personal data

We do not store IP addresses. To count unique sessions, we generate a one-way hash from the visitor's IP address, user agent, and the current date. This hash rotates daily and cannot be reversed to identify an individual.

EU-based and hosted

Cheap Web Analytics is operated from the European Union. Your analytics data is processed and stored in compliance with GDPR. We do not sell or transfer analytics data to third parties.

Account data

To use the dashboard, you create an account with your email address and a password. Your password is securely hashed and never stored in plain text. We use a single httpOnly authentication cookie solely for keeping you logged in.

Payment processing

Paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. When you subscribe to a paid plan, Stripe collects your payment card details, billing address, and email. We never see or store your full card number. We receive from Stripe only your Stripe customer ID, subscription status, and plan details so we can provision your account.

Stripe processes your data as an independent data controller under their own privacy policy. We encourage you to review Stripe's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle your payment information.

Data retention

Analytics data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your paid subscription, we continue tracking for a 10-day grace period before deactivating data collection. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.
