  • Indirectly from you. For example, from observing your actions on our Site.
  • From other third parties, including those listed within this Policy.

The information we obtain about you from third parties may be combined and utilized with the information you provide us. 

We collect two types of data and information from Users.

The first type is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a User(s) ("Non-personal Information"). Non-personal Information which is being collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g. the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time, etc.) in order to enhance the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information on your activity on the Site (e.g. pages viewed, online browsing, clicks, actions, etc.).

The second type is Personal Information, which is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may, with reasonable effort, identify an individual. Such information includes:

  • Personally Identifiable Information, such as name, address, email address, and phone number.
  • Banking information for collecting payments.

Device Information: We collect Personal Information from your device. Such information includes geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g. MAC address and UUID), and other information that relates to your activity through the Site.

Website Scan Data: When you use our SiteIntel, we collect and process data obtained through automated scanning of websites you designate, including technical attributes, performance metrics, and digital marketing signals ("Website Scan Data"). Website Scan Data may be processed by AI systems to generate insights, summaries, scores, and recommendations. Website Scan Data is generally non-personal in nature; however, if Website Scan Data collected from your designated websites includes any Personal Information, you are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis for providing it to us.

MarketIntel Data: Technical and analytical data, including page structure, authority signals, governance indicators, and related metrics, obtained through CIM and ELDAA scans of third-party websites conducted at Customer’s direction (“MarketIntel Data”). CIM scans are limited to the competitor domains identified by Customer in the applicable Customer Agreement or Order Form; ELDAA scans are limited to externally linked pages and the publicly accessible root domain of each linked site. We do not intentionally collect or retain personal data incidentally contained on third-party sites.

Site Activity Tracking Data: Data collected through the ActivityIntel first-party pixel from visitors to Customer’s designated website(s) (“Site Activity Tracking Data”), including the following elements:

  • Device Identifiers (Pseudonymous): Unique identifiers assigned to visitor devices, used exclusively to detect repeat fraudulent or bot activity. Not used to identify individuals for marketing purposes. Retained for up to 180 days.
  • IP Addresses: Collected for geo-risk analysis and bot network detection. Raw IP addresses are hashed after 30 days; hashed IP addresses are retained for up to 180 days.
  • Session Activity Data: Behavioral signals including click patterns, mouse movement, page velocity, form submission patterns, and keystroke timing dynamics, used exclusively for fraud scoring and bot detection; individual page viewing history (full sequence of page paths visited, time per page, visit count, and session depth), stored pseudonymously linked to the device identifier; traffic source signals including UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content, utm_term), advertising click identifiers (Google Click ID / GCLID; Microsoft Click ID / MCLID), and referrer domain. All session signals are analyzed solely to distinguish automated bot activity from human website visitors and detect click fraud. No individual biometric templates are created or retained. Retained for up to 180 days.
  • Fraud Score: A risk score derived from the above signals, used solely to evaluate spam and fraud risk. Retained in identified form for up to 180 days; retained in de-identified form for up to 2 years.

Site Activity Tracking Data is collected from all website visitors regardless of consent status for fraud detection purposes. The Marketing Analytics Module and Lead Management Application collect marketing analytics data only from consented or non-opted-out visitors as described under “Dual-Purpose Data Architecture” below.

Feedback Data: When you submit comments, ideas, or suggestions regarding our Services ("Feedback"), we collect and retain that information. Unless otherwise determined under our agreements with customers, we hold a perpetual license to use and incorporate Feedback to improve our Services. Feedback is not sold to third parties and is used solely for internal product development purposes.

SiteIntel: MarketIntel

This section applies to customers who have elected MarketIntel.

Customer-Directed Third-Party Scanning. CIM and ELDAA scans are conducted by us as the Customer’s agent at the Customer’s express direction, authorized in the applicable Customer Agreement, Subscription Agreement, or Order Form.

WebsiteTrackerBot. WebsiteTracker identifies itself using the "WebsiteTrackerBot" user agent string for all MarketIntel scanning activity. WebsiteTracker complies with robots.txt directives published by scanned website operators. If a website's robots.txt disallows access to WebsiteTrackerBot, that website will not be scanned, and the customer will be notified.

Third-Party Website Operator Rights. Operators of websites scanned through MarketIntel features may contact us at info@websitetracker.com to request exclusion from future scanning or to raise concerns about automated access to their website. We will respond to such requests promptly and remove the domain from future scanning where appropriate.

ActivityIntel: Additional Disclosures

This section applies to Customer and website Users subject to our ActivityIntel.

Dual-Purpose Data Architecture. Our ActivityIntel operates two technically separated data environments:

  • Fraud Database: Collects data from all website visitors regardless of consent status, used exclusively for fraud detection, bot detection, spam prevention, click fraud analysis, and security monitoring. Operates under a legitimate interest or Service Provider business purpose legal basis. The Fraud Database contains: pseudonymous device identifier; session identifier (transient); IP address (raw for up to 30 days, then hashed); session behavioral signals including keystroke timing dynamics; individual page viewing history (full sequences of page paths, time per page, visit count, and session depth, stored pseudonymously); UTM parameters and advertising click identifiers (GCLID, MCLID); IP-derived geographic attributes; fraud risk score; and marketing consent flag (stored, not used for fraud purposes). The Fraud Database does not contain and must never contain visitor names, email addresses, phone numbers, company names, or any other direct identifier submitted via a form. Data in the Fraud Database is never used for marketing analytics under any circumstances.
  • Marketing Database: Upon activation, will contain data only from opted-in, consented or non-opted-out form submissions, together with marketing attribution data. Fields will include: name; email; phone; company; UTM parameters and advertising click identifiers; IP-derived geographic attributes (not raw IP); fraud risk score and derived behavioral engagement attributes (retrieved via one-time runtime query from the Fraud Database at form submission — session identifier not stored); lead quality score; lead verification outcomes (integrated component of the Lead Management Application); marketing consent flag and metadata; campaign attribution data; and aggregate opt-out conversion counts. Will not contain raw IP addresses, pseudonymous device identifiers, session identifiers, raw behavioral signals, or individual page viewing history. Used for campaign performance analytics, marketing optimization, and lead management.

No data collected under the Fraud Database may be used for marketing purposes. This separation is enforced by technical controls, not policy alone. The only permitted interaction between the two databases is a one-time runtime query at the moment a form is submitted: the session identifier is used to retrieve the fraud risk score and derived behavioral attributes from the Fraud Database, which are written to the Marketing Database record for that submission. The session identifier is immediately discarded and is not stored in the Marketing Database. No persistent linkage between the databases exists or is created. Each Customer’s data is maintained in a logically separate environment from all other customers’ data with no cross-customer commingling.

Purpose Limitation. The Fraud Database and Marketing Database are logically and technically separated environments with no persistent cross-database identifiers. This separation is enforced by technical controls, not policy alone. The only permitted interaction between the two databases is the one-time runtime query. 

WebsiteTracker's Role Classification. With respect to data collected through the ActivityIntel, WebsiteTracker's legal role is as follows:

  • Under US law (CCPA/CPRA and applicable state privacy laws): WebsiteTracker acts as a Service Provider to our Users and Customers. WebsiteTracker does not sell or share your Personal Information as those terms are defined under applicable US privacy law.
  • Under EU/UK law (GDPR / UK GDPR): WebsiteTracker acts as an Independent Controller with respect to fraud detection processing, and as a Data Processor acting on our Customer's instructions with respect to marketing analytics processing.
  • Under HIPAA: Where WebsiteTracker's pixel is deployed by a healthcare Covered Entity or Business Associate on pages where Protected Health Information may be encountered, WebsiteTracker acts as a Business Associate or subcontractor Business Associate and has executed a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with that Customer.

Session Activity Signals and Biometric Laws. Session activity signals collected by the ActivityIntel, including keystroke timing dynamics and mouse movement patterns, are behavioral signals used solely to distinguish automated bot activity from human website visitors. We do not use these signals to identify any individual, do not create or retain individual-level biometric templates, and process these signals only in aggregate for fraud anomaly scoring. Because these signals cannot identify an individual, they do not constitute “biometric identifiers” or “biometric information” under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), or equivalent state laws, consistent with the principle that biometric identifiers must be capable of identifying a person. If our processing configuration changes in a manner that would cause these signals to be used for individual identification, we will update this Policy and notify affected customers or users at least 30 days in advance.

Illinois, Texas, and Washington Residents — Additional Protection: As an additional safeguard for visitors whose IP address geo-resolves to Illinois, Texas, and Washington, WebsiteTracker does not retain keystroke timing dynamics or mouse movement pattern data. These signals are discarded at the point of collection for Illinois, Texas, and Washington — geolocated sessions — and are never written to WebsiteTracker's fraud database. All other session data (device identifier, IP address, page viewing history, traffic source signals, fraud risk score) continues to be processed for Illinois, Texas, and Washington visitors on the same basis as all other visitors. This additional protection does not affect the legal analysis above and does not constitute an acknowledgment that session behavioral signals are biometric identifiers under any applicable law.

Healthcare Configurations (HIPAA). If the ActivityIntel is deployed by a healthcare Customer on pages where Protected Health Information (PHI) may be encountered, including patient intake forms, appointment booking pages, or patient portal login pages, the following applies:

  • WebsiteTracker operates as a Business Associate (or subcontractor Business Associate) of that Covered Entity or Business Associate healthcare Customer under HIPAA, where applicable.
  • A HIPAA Business Associate Agreement governs WebsiteTracker's handling of any PHI encountered during fraud detection processing.
  • Collected PHI, if any, is used solely for fraud detection and is never used for marketing analytics. Form submissions on HIPAA-configured pages are not routed to the Marketing Database or Lead Management Application regardless of consent status, this restriction applies both now and upon any future activation of the Lead Management Application.
  • PHI data is stored in a separate, HIPAA-compliant data environment with enhanced security controls.
  • If you are a Washington State resident and the pixel is used in a health services context, the Washington My Health MY Data Act may also apply. Contact us at info@websitetracker.com for more information.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Overview. Artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning technologies, including large language models ("LLMs") and other AI tools, are an integral part of our Services. This section explains what AI technologies we use, how your data interacts with those technologies, and what controls you have.

This section applies to the SiteIntel (including the MarketIntel) and the ActivityIntel.

How We Use AI

We use AI technologies to:

  • Automatically gather, analyze, and summarize website and digital campaign performance data on your behalf;
  • Generate trend analysis, predictive analytics, scoring, and recommendations based on your website and campaign data;
  • Analyze Competitor intelligence data and external link signals collected through the MarketIntel to generate insights and recommendations;
  • Analyze behavioral signals and generate fraud scores for fraud detection and bot prevention (ActivityIntel);
  • Classify and qualify non-personally identifiable lead data to support your marketing and sales activities;
  • Accelerate development and maintenance of our proprietary software and codebase; and
  • Improve the quality, accuracy, and performance of our Services over time.

Third-Party AI Providers. To power AI features, we transmit certain data, including Website Scan Data, MarketIntel Data, and, in limited contexts, account-related information, to third-party AI service providers ("AI Providers"). A current list of AI Providers, as well as our full Subprocessor list, is available upon request at info@websitetracker.com. We maintain data processing agreements with our AI Providers that require them to implement appropriate data protection, confidentiality, and security measures.

MarketIntel Data transmitted to AI Providers is processed solely to provide the elected features to the requesting customer and is not used to benefit any other customer or to train general-purpose AI models.

AI Provider Data Use & Training. We take steps to ensure that our AI Providers do not use your Personal Information or Customer Content to train their general-purpose AI models without your consent. However, AI Providers may use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data in accordance with their own policies. Upon a valid deletion request, we will request deletion of your data from AI Providers to the extent technically and contractually practicable.

Data Minimization & Sensitive Data. We apply data minimization principles to AI processing. We do not intentionally transmit Sensitive Information to AI systems. You should not submit Sensitive Personal Information, including health or medical data, government identification numbers, financial account numbers, or data relating to minors, through any AI-powered feature of our Services. Note: session activity signals processed by the ActivityIntel (such as keystroke timing and mouse movement) are used solely for bot detection and are not biometric data within the meaning of applicable law; see “Session Activity Signals and Biometric Laws” below. Contact us at info@websitetracker.com if you have concerns.

AI-Generated Output Limitations. AI-generated insights, summaries, scores, and recommendations ("AI-Generated Output") are produced algorithmically and provided for informational purposes only. AI-Generated Output may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including content that appears plausible but is factually incorrect ("hallucinations"). This risk is heightened for outputs derived from MarketIntel features, which are based on content we do not own or control and which reflects only the pages scanned at the time of the scan. We strongly encourage you to independently verify AI-Generated Output before relying on it for business decisions. AI-Generated Output does not constitute legal, financial, or other professional advice.

Automated Decision-Making. Some features of our Services use automated processing, including AI, to generate scores, classifications, or recommendations that may influence business decisions. Specifically:

  • SiteIntel: AI generates website audit scores, governance recommendations, Competitor Intelligence insights, and external link assessments for informational purposes only; these outputs do not produce legal effects on individuals.
  • ActivityIntel: AI generates fraud scores and other information that may be used to limit access to certain website features.

We do not use automated processing to make decisions that produce outcomes with legal effects concerning individuals without the opportunity for human review. The automated blocking feature, which uses fraud scores to automatically limit a visitor’s access to certain website features, is not activated by default. It may only be enabled by a Customer with WebsiteTracker’s prior written consent, and only where the Customer has implemented the required human review and appeal process described in the applicable agreement. EU/UK visitors have rights under GDPR Article 22 with respect to automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. US visitors whose access has been limited by an automated blocking decision may request additional human review by contacting the website operator or us at info@websitetracker.com. Certain state laws (including but not limited to Minnesota, Colorado, and Connecticut) provide additional rights regarding profiling and bias. WebsiteTracker uses reasonable safeguards, including required human review, before any decision is made using AI general data.

International Transfers for AI Processing. AI Providers may process data on servers outside the United States. We ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms) are in place for international transfers of Personal Information to AI Providers, consistent with applicable law.

Your Rights Regarding AI Processing. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights related to automated processing of your Personal Information, including the right to opt out of profiling with significant consequences. You also have the right to:

  • Request information about which AI Providers have processed your Personal Information and, where applicable, request deletion of that data from AI Provider systems.
  • Opt out of your data being used for AI model training or improvement purposes, to the extent such use occurs.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@websitetracker.com. Opting out of certain AI processing may limit functionality and Services available to you.

Updates to this Section

We may update this section to reflect changes in applicable State Privacy Laws or our data practices. Any material changes will be posted in this Policy. 

Retention

We will retain your information, including your Personal Information, for as long as necessary to provide our Services or as stated in an agreement we have with you to provide Services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

SiteIntel. Website Scan Data and data processed by AI Features under the SiteIntel are retained only as long as necessary to provide the Services. Upon termination or a valid deletion request, this data is removed from active systems within a reasonable period and from backups on a standard rotation schedule. Data transmitted to AI Providers is subject to those providers' retention practices; we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure AI Providers delete or anonymize your data consistent with our obligations to you.

MarketIntel. Third-Party Scan Output from Competitor Intelligence Monitoring and External Link Assessment data are retained only as long as necessary to provide the elected features to the requesting customer. These data types are removed from active systems upon termination or a valid deletion request within a reasonable period. MarketIntel data is not retained for cross-customer use or platform improvement purposes.

ActivityIntel. The following specific maximum retention periods apply to data collected through the ActivityIntel:

Data Type Maximum Retention Period
Device Identifiers (pseudonymous) 180 days
IP Addresses (raw) 30 days, then hashed
IP Addresses (hashed) 180 days
Session Behavioral Signals 180 days
Fraud Score (identified) 180 days
Fraud Score (de-identified) 2 years
Unconsented leads — Marketing Database90 days from last interaction (auto-deleted or anonymized)
Consented leads — Marketing DatabasePer applicable data addendum (typically duration of Customer’s relationship with the lead)
Aggregated Non-PII Analytics2 years
PHI (HIPAA configurations)Per Business Associate Agreement
EU/UK Consent RecordsDuration of processing + 3 years

These periods represent maximums, not targets. Shorter retention is preferred and applied where operationally feasible.

Feedback Data. Feedback submitted to us is retained for the duration of our relationship and for a reasonable period thereafter for product development purposes, consistent with the perpetual license granted under our agreements.

We may rectify, replenish, or remove incomplete or inaccurate information at any time and at our own discretion.

Pseudonymous Data

Some data collected through the ActivityIntel is maintained only in pseudonymous form and cannot be linked to a specific individual without disproportionate effort, if at all. In response to data subject rights requests (including deletion and access requests), we will make reasonable efforts to match requests to pseudonymous records using available identifiers (email address, IP address within the active scoring window, or device fingerprint if the requestor revisits the site voluntarily). Where a match cannot be confirmed, we will document our best-efforts attempt and provide a response disclosing that no matching record was identified or that records may be pseudonymous and not linkable. This approach is consistent with CCPA § 1798.145(a)(7) and equivalent provisions under applicable law.

Sub-processors

We engage third-party service providers ("Sub-processors"), such as hosting providers, analytics vendors, payment processors, and AI Providers, to provide or support delivery of our Services. We maintain contractual obligations with Sub-processors requiring appropriate data protection and security measures. A current list of all Sub-processors, including AI Providers, is available upon request at info@websitetracker.com. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of our Sub-processors beyond our contractual obligations with them.

International Transfers - ActivityIntel

WebsiteTracker's infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in US-based regions. For EU/EEA and UK users and website visitors, all data processed through ActivityIntel involves international data transfers. The following transfer mechanisms are in place:

  • EU Users: EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) 2021/914, Module 1 (Controller-to-Controller, for fraud detection data) and Module 2 (Controller-to-Processor, for marketing analytics data), accompanied by a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA).
  • UK Users: UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or UK Addendum to EU SCCs.
  • AWS: AWS has executed a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with WebsiteTracker for applicable healthcare data. PHI is stored only on HIPAA-eligible AWS services.

Where required by applicable law, we ensure appropriate transfer mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place for international transfers of Personal Information.

We may share information in the event of a corporate transaction (e.g. sale of a substantial part of our business, merger, consolidation, or asset sale). In the event of the above, the transferee or acquiring company will assume the rights and obligations as described in this Policy.

Minors

The Site is meant for adults and those who have reached the age of majority as defined by the laws of their domicile.

Nonetheless, this Policy is designed to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and, to the extent applicable, the applicable state data privacy laws, including their enhanced protections for minors. Accordingly, we do not knowingly collect, use, or retain any personal information about users under the age of eighteen (18) except with verified consent of the user (so long as they are above thirteen (13) years of age), parent, or guardian. Subject to applicable law, if we obtain actual knowledge that we collected or retained personal information about a child under the age of eighteen (18) without such consent, that information will be promptly deleted from our systems. Any personal information collected from minors under eighteen (18) with consent from the user, parent, or guardian will be used only for the purposes disclosed at the time of collection or as reasonably necessary to provide our services, will not be sold or used for targeted advertising or profiling, and will not be retained longer than necessary. Users, parents, or guardians may review their own or their child’s personal information, opt out, request deletion, and refuse any further collection or use of such information by contacting us at info@websitetracker.com.

If parents or guardians wish to create an account for, and provide information related to their child who is under the age of eighteen (18), the parent or guardian may do so, but assumes full responsibility for ensuring that the information is kept s and that the information submitted is accurate. In creating such an account, the parent or guardian accepts that this Policy will apply to the minor child’s information. Additionally, we do not knowingly submit Personal Information of minors to AI systems. If you believe a minor's information has been processed through our AI features, please contact us immediately at info@websitetracker.com.
