Privacy practices

How Traceable handles data.

What we record when a link is opened

  • Timestamp of the open
  • Coarse location (country, region, city) derived from IP — the raw IP is never stored
  • Device type, operating system, and browser (from the User-Agent)
  • Referrer (the page the link was clicked from, when available)
  • For uploaded files: how long the document was viewed

What we don't do

  • No tracking cookies and no cross-site tracking
  • No device fingerprinting
  • No storing of raw IP addresses (used transiently for geo lookup, then discarded)
  • No selling or sharing of data with third parties

Transparency to visitors

People who open a hosted document see a notice that the link is tracked by its owner. Analytics here are for the document owner — comparable to website analytics — not surveillance of named individuals unless the owner explicitly creates a per-recipient link.

Your data & deletion

Deleting a link removes its analytics and any stored file. Deleting your account from Settings permanently erases your account, links, files, and all associated events.
