GoatCounter privacy policy

8 November 2019

The following information is collected:

• URL of the visited page.
• Referer header.
• User-Agent header.
• Screen size.
• Country name based on IP address.

No personal information (such as IP address) is collected. Visitors are not tracked by using e.g. persistent cookies; it is virtually impossible to tie any of the collected information to a person.

GDPR

GoatCounter does not collect data which can be used to identify a person, and the GDPR almost certainly doesn’t apply. See Recital 26, “Not applicable to anonymous data”.

That being said, EU Regulations such as the GDPR are interpreted and enforced different across member states, and national laws may also apply. It’s advised you consult a lawyer if you want detailed legal advice specific to your situation.

Sharing with third parties

No information is shared with third parties.
