The tracker skips browsers signaling Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. Reports are password-protected and do not expose raw IP addresses or individual browser identifiers. Ordinary server access logs remain subject to server retention. No third-party analytics service, advertisements, external font requests, account system, or data submission form is used.
