====== Privacy considerations ======

By default, the plugin does not track any //Personally Identifiable Information// (PII), so there **shouldn't** be any privacy concerns when used "out-of-the-box".
However, since this is an international legal matter, it’s advisable to consult a lawyer regarding your specific case.

===== Data Sent by Default =====

When enabled, the plugin only sends the following information:

  * A persistent random client ID.
  * Screen resolution.
  * Current language.

===== Opt-in/Opt-out Control =====

You have full control over the //opt-in/opt-out strategy// in your application.
In the [[https://www.unamedia.com/ue5-google-analytics/api/gamp_plugin_settings.html|Project Settings]], you can set the //Opt Out Default// option to determine whether users must explicitly opt-in or opt-out of tracking in your application.
Of course, you will need to provide the user interface and code to change this setting using the plugin API if necessary.

===== Disclaimers =====

Disclaimers depend on Google Analytics policies as well as what **you** log.
For Google policies, refer to the following resources:

  * [[https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/|Google Analytics Terms]]: the Terms of Service for using Google Analytics.
  * [[https://www.google.com/analytics/policies/|Google Analytics Policies]]: a list of important limitations and requirements regarding logged data.
  * [[https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7686480?hl=en|Understanding PII in Google's Contracts and Policies]].
  * [[https://support.google.com/analytics/topic/2919631?hl=en|Data Privacy and Security]]: this section contains all related information about Google Analytics privacy.
  * [[https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6366371?hl=en|Best Practices to Avoid Sending Personally Identifiable Information (PII)]]: in particular this document mentions that "//To protect user privacy, Google policies mandate that no data be passed to Google that Google could use or recognize as personally identifiable information (PII).//"

Depending on what **you** log, the disclaimer you need to use could change. Again, it is essential to consult a lawyer for details specific to your situation.
