<h3>Analytics</h3>
<em>We will try to keep this as compact as possible so that you could really understand what is going on.</em>

Right now Trustroots uses <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/">Google Analytics</a> to collect usage statistics. We're looking into switching to an open source alternative <a href="http://piwik.org/" target="_blank">Piwik</a> with the help from <a href="https://indiehosters.net/" target="_blank">IndieHosters</a>.

<h3>Your data is yours</h3>

Hopefully soon enough you will be able to download your profile data.

<br><br>

Also hopefully soon you will be able to remove your profile completelly from the system. Currently you can ask us to do so and the feature itself is in development.

<br><br>

We will never ever sell your profile data to anone or try to use it otherwise commercially.


<h3>Analytics & opting out</h3>

Right now Trustroots uses <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/">Google Analytics</a> to collect usage statistics and <a href="http://www.newrelic.com" target="_blank">New Relic</a> to monitor performance. We're looking into switching to an open source alternative <a href="http://piwik.org/" target="_blank">Piwik</a>, but running Piwik isn't that straightforward. We hope you understand and let us know if you could help us with that!

To opt-out of all tracking (including Google Analytics and Piwik), you could install Google's official <a href="https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout" target="_blank">opt out extension</a> or use <a href="https://www.ghostery.com/" target="_blank">Ghostery</a>, <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/" target="_blank">Noscript</a> or <a href="https://disconnect.me/" target="_blank">Disconnect</a>. These browser extensions will disable all the known JavaScript trackers and ensure that your browser does not send a request to external tracking servers.

<h3>Social networks</h3>

Some of the features at the site use other social networks such as Twitter or Facebook. You don't have to connect your profile to these and we don't share any info with these sites. We only crawl info you give us access to and show it at your profile if you want to.
Some of the features at the site use other social networks such as Twitter, Facebook or Gravatar. You don't have to connect your profile to these and we don't share any data with these networks. We only crawl info you give us access to and show it at your profile if you want to. Some of the data from these sites is then stored at our server.

<br><br>

Some of our users want to use these networks and they have a right to do so.


<h3>Your emails</h3>

We route all our emails using <a href="http://mandrillapp.com" target="_blank">Mandrill</a>. They're reliable, professional and we trust them. They do much better job than we could ever do and privacy wise using their service equals to buying a server space from somewhere else.

<br><br>

If you subscribe for newsletters, your email will be stored at <a href="http://www.mailchimp.com" target="_blank">MailChimp</a> since we use them to send newsletters. MailChimp and Mandrill are the same company, just via Mandrill nothing is stored.


<h3>Our server</h3>

Our server (and thus your data) is securely hosted at <a href="http://www.digitalocean.com">DigitalOcean</a>.
