This policy explains what Statwave collects through this website, why we use it, and the choices you may have. It applies to statwave.io and the free site-check form. A signed service agreement may include extra terms for customer data used in paid work.
Information You Give Us
When you ask for a free site check, we collect:
- The website address you want us to review.
- The email address where you want us to send the report.
- Any optional answers you give about the site concern, service, location, or next step you want a visitor to take.
- Your report consent, a request ID, and any campaign tags in the link used to reach this site.
We use this information to review the public website and prepare the check. We send the check to you and may reply about your request. Do not submit private login details, health data, financial data, or other sensitive information.
Information Collected When You Use the Site
The site needs basic request and security data to work. Optional analytics data is collected only after you accept analytics:
- Pages you view, links you click, form use, and referring pages when analytics is accepted.
- Your browser, device, operating system, screen size, and general area when analytics is accepted.
- Page speed, errors, dead clicks, and other site performance when analytics is accepted.
- Session replays that show how a visitor moves through the site when analytics is accepted.
- Internet Protocol address and request data needed to run and protect the site.
We mask form inputs in PostHog session replays. We also block the submitted email and website address from the PostHog event data we send. Page text, page addresses, clicks, and console messages may still appear in analytics or replay data after you accept analytics.
How We Use Information
- Prepare and send a requested site check.
- Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
- Understand which pages and actions are useful.
- Improve site copy, speed, forms, and navigation.
- Keep records and meet legal duties.
Analytics, Cookies, and Similar Storage
We show an analytics choice when you first visit. Accepting analytics lets PostHog collect the optional page, interaction, performance, and replay data described above. Rejecting analytics prevents that optional collection. Your choice is saved in browser storage so we can honor it on later visits.
We also use PostHog for page data, heatmaps, site speed, errors, form events, and session replay. PostHog may use cookies and browser storage to keep visitor and session IDs. Its data goes to PostHog's United States service.
You can change your choice with Cookie settings in the footer, block or delete cookies in your browser, or clear browser storage. “Do Not Track” is treated as a rejection. The site and form work after either choice. Privacy rules differ by location.
Service Providers
We use companies that help us run this site and handle requests:
- Vercel hosts this site and stores site-check requests and their processing status.
- PostHog tracks site use, heatmaps, errors, and replays.
- Google sends the fonts used on the site.
These providers may process information in the United States or other places where they work. We may also share information when the law requires it. We may share it to protect the site or others, or as part of a business transfer.
Retention and Security
We keep information only as long as we need it for the uses listed here. We may also keep it for records, security, and legal duties. The time depends on the data and each provider's settings.
We use reasonable steps to protect information. We limit access to people and providers that need it. No website or storage system can promise perfect security.
Your Choices
Your local law may let you ask to see, fix, delete, or limit use of your personal information. We may need to check your identity before we act on a request.
To make a request, use the contact form on the homepage. Enter the website tied to your request and the email where we should reply. When we respond, tell us that it is a privacy request.
Children
This business website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly ask children under 13 to submit personal information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our site, tools, or practices change. We will post the new version here and change the date at the top.
