> To address your concern with the privacy, WhatRuns do not collect or log any visitor information including IP address, location etc

That's not the whole truth - you are using Google Analytics to track visitors and you fail to disclose this in your privacy policy, despite this being mandatory under the Google Analytics T&C's.

Well done launching what looks like a very cool project, and I hope you can further improve it by informing visitors that you are using Google Analytics to track them (or even drop GA completely in favor of something privacy friendly).




We are using Google Analytics only on the website, it will not (and do not have access to) collect extension user data. However, you are right that we should've mentioned this in our privacy policy. We're on it :)
