Our analytics system is designed from the ground up to be privacy-preserving. We use advanced techniques to provide you with actionable insights without compromising user data.
We do not record, store, or process IP addresses during redirects. Analytics are completely anonymous.
We analyze User-Agent strings in-memory to detect bots and devices, but never store them with personal identifiers.
Redirects happen instantly. Analytics processing occurs in the background to ensure speed and privacy.
const processClick = (request) => { // 1. Detect Bot/Human if (isBot(request)) return; // 2. Track Anonymous Metrics analytics.record({ timestamp: Date.now(), device: getDeviceType(request), referrer: getReferrer(request) }); // 3. NO IP Storage // 4. NO Cookie Setting // 5. Redirect User };
It's not just about following the law—it's about protecting your brand.
