+ LitLyx Analytics Data Policy
+
+
+
+
+
+ LitLyx is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that our data practices are transparent, secure,
+ and compliant with all relevant regulations. This data policy outlines the information we collect, how we
+ use it, and the measures we take to protect your data. Our services are hosted on servers provided by
+ Hetzner in Nuremberg, Germany, and comply with European data protection laws, including GDPR, CCPA, and
+ PECR.
+
+
+
+
Data Collection and Usage :
+
+ LitLyx is designed to provide insightful analytics without compromising user privacy. We adhere to the
+ following principles:
+
+
+ 1. Non-Personal Data Collection: We do not collect personal data or personally
+ identifiable information (PII). Our analytics focus on aggregated data to identify trends without
+ tracking individual users.
+ 2 No Cookies or Persistent Identifiers: We do not use cookies, browser storage, or any
+ form of persistent identifiers. All data is session-based and anonymized.
+
+
+
Specific Data Points Collected
+
We collect only the most essential data points, which are:
+
+ • Page URL: We track the URLs of pages viewed on your website to understand which pages
+ are most popular. Query parameters and hash parameters are discarded.
+
+ • HTTP Referrer: This helps us determine the source of your traffic by identifying the
+ referring website.
+ • Browser: We track the browser type and version (derived from the User-Agent header) to
+ understand the technology used by visitors. The full User-Agent string is discarded.
+
+ • Operating System: We identify the operating system and its version (derived from the
+ User-Agent header) to see what systems visitors use. The full User-Agent string is discarded.
+ • Device Type: We categorize devices into desktop, mobile, or tablet based on the
+ User-Agent header.
+ • Geographical Location: We determine the visitor's country, region, and city using their
+ IP address. We do not track anything more granular than the city level, and IP addresses are not stored.
+
+
+
+
Unique User Counting Without Cookies
+
+
+ Counting unique visitors is crucial for analytics, but we prioritize visitor privacy. We do not generate
+ persistent identifiers. Instead, we use a combination of the visitor's IP address and User-Agent to create a
+ unique identifier for each day.
+
+
+
+ Formula for Unique User Identification -
+ Every HTTP request includes the IP address and User-Agent. To generate a unique identifier while maintaining
+ anonymity, we apply the following process:
+
+
+
+
+
+ • Daily Salt: A randomly generated value that changes daily.
+ • Website Domain: The domain of the website being visited.
+ • IP Address and User-Agent: Used to create a unique but anonymized identifier.
+ • Strip function: Used to transform string in only [A-z0-9]
+
+
+
This identifier is used to count unique visitors for a single day. The raw IP addresses and User-Agent
+ strings are never stored. Daily salts are deleted every 24 hours to prevent linking visitor data across
+ days.
+
+
+
+
Custom Events and Custom Events Metadata
+
+ At LitLyx, we understand the importance of flexibility and customization in web analytics. To cater to
+ specific needs, we allow the tracking of custom events and the storage of custom events metadata. This
+ section outlines how we manage these custom events while ensuring privacy and compliance with relevant
+ regulations.
+
+
+
Tracking Custom Events
+
+ Custom events allow you to track specific interactions on your website beyond standard page views. These
+ interactions might include button clicks, form submissions, or other user actions that are important for
+ understanding user behavior on your site.
+
+
+
+
Data Points for Custom Events
+
+
+ • Event Name: A descriptive name for the event (e.g., "Button Click", "Form Submission").
+
+ • Event Metadata: Additional metadata associated with the event (e.g., button ID,
+ form ID).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Data Hosting and Security
+
+
+ • Hosting: All data is hosted on Hetzner servers in Nuremberg, Germany. These servers are powered by
+ 100% renewable energy and comply with EU data protection laws.
+
+
+ • Security Measures: We use HTTPS for data transmission and employ hashing processes for data at rest.
+ Regular backups are performed and stored within the EU in redundant locations.
+
+
+ • No Third-Party Access: Apart from Hetzner, no third-party vendors have access to the data. This ensures
+ all data remains within the EU and is protected by strict European privacy laws.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Tracking Custom Events
+
+ Custom events allow you to track specific interactions on your website beyond standard page views. These
+ interactions might include button clicks, form submissions, or other user actions that are important for
+ understanding user behavior on your site.
+
+
+
+
+
+
Data Ownership
+
+ LitLyx respects that you own your website data. We do not sell, share, or monetize your data. You retain
+ full control over your data, with the ability to delete your account or data at any time. Upon deletion, all
+ data is permanently removed from our servers and cannot be recovered.
+
+
+
+
Trust and Transparency
+
+ LitLyx is built on principles of transparency and openness. While our analytics tools are proprietary, we
+ adhere strictly to our privacy commitments. Our policies and processes are open for review to ensure we meet
+ our stated objectives.
+
+
+
+
Compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR
