Privacy Policy

Glancelytics is designed to avoid personal data wherever possible. We track high-level usage statistics about visits to your website so you can understand traffic without profiling individuals.

For each page view, we may process:

• Page URL and path
• Referrer URL (where the visitor came from)
• Browser & device information (user agent)
• Approximate geographic information derived from IP (if used)
• Timestamp of the visit

This information is used in aggregate to show metrics like total visitors, unique visitors, top pages, and traffic sources.

The Glancelytics tracking script is completely cookieless. We do not set or read cookies, and we do not use localStorage or similar browser storage to identify visitors.

We do not build browsing profiles across different websites. Each site you track with Glancelytics is isolated; data from one site is not linked to data from another.

To calculate unique visitors and detect abuse, Glancelytics may process visitor IP addresses in memory. Instead of storing raw IP addresses, we generate a short, daily-rotating hash using:

• IP address
• Browser user agent
• Tracked domain
• Current date
• A secret salt value

Only the resulting hash is stored, not the original IP. This means we can count unique visitors for a given day without retaining persistent identifiers or raw network information.

Retention policies depend on your subscription plan. For example, free plans may keep data for a limited period, while paid plans can store data longer to power historical insights.

In all cases, we apply data minimization: we only store metrics that are necessary to provide the service and delete old or unneeded data in line with our internal retention rules.

As a website owner using Glancelytics, you are generally the data controller for any analytics data relating to your visitors. Glancelytics acts as your data processor, providing the analytics infrastructure.

You are responsible for ensuring that using analytics on your site is compatible with your local laws and for updating your own privacy policy to explain your use of Glancelytics.

Glancelytics uses several infrastructure providers to run the service, such as:

• Authentication providers (e.g. Clerk) for managing accounts
• Cloud databases (e.g. Postgres) and caching (e.g. Redis)
• Payment processors (e.g. Stripe) for subscriptions
• Hosting providers (e.g. Vercel) to serve the application

These providers may process limited account or billing information about you as a customer (not your website visitors) in order to operate the service.

If you are a Glancelytics customer, you can contact us at any time to:

• Request access to the account data we store about you
• Request corrections to your account information
• Request deletion of your account (subject to legal obligations)

Because Glancelytics is designed not to store direct identifiers for your visitors, we are generally unable to identify or act on individual visitor requests without your cooperation as the site owner.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how Glancelytics handles data, please contact us at support@glancelytics.com.
