Analytics
I want to process as little personal information as possible when you use my website.

Using this privacy-friendly website analytics software, your IP address is only briefly processed, and I (running this website) have no way of identifying you. As per the CCPA, your personal information is de-identified. You can read more about this on Fathom Analytics' website.

The purpose of us using this software is to understand my website traffic in the most privacy-friendly way possible so that we can continually improve our website and business. The lawful basis as per the GDPR is "where our legitimate interests are to improve our website and business continually." As per the explanation, no personal data is stored over time.

I handle personal data for my own business.
