What personal data do we collect online, and why do we collect it
Google Analytics
Data Used: Please refer to the appropriate Google Analytics documentation for the specific type of data it collects.
Activity Tracked: This feature sends page view events to Google Analytics for consumption.
Video Gallery
Data Used: Youtube uses cookies to play video content on our Video Gallery page. Please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy for more information.
Mobile Theme
Data Used: A visitor’s preference for viewing the mobile version of a site.
Activity Tracked: A cookie (akm_mobile) is stored for 3.5 days to remember whether or not a visitor of the site wishes to view its mobile version. Learn more about this cookie.
Protecting Our Site
Data Used: To check login activity to our website server and potentially block fraudulent attempts, the following information is used: attempting the user’s IP address, attempting the user’s email address/username (i.e., according to the value they were attempting to use during the login process), and all IP-related HTTP headers attached to the attempting user.
Activity Tracked: Failed login attempts (these include IP address and user agent). We also set a cookie (jpp_math_pass) for one day to remember if/when a user has completed a math captcha to prove that they’re a real human. Learn more about this cookie.
Data Synced (?): Failed login attempts, which contain the user’s IP address, attempted username or email address, and user agent information.
Search
Data Used: Any visitor-chosen search filters and query data to process a search request on the WordPress.com servers.
Sharing
Data Used: When sharing content via email, the following information is used: sharing party’s name and email address (if the user is logged in, this information will be pulled directly from their account), IP address (for spam checking), user agent (for spam checking), and email body/content. This content will be sent to Akismet (also owned by Automattic) so that a spam check can be performed. Additionally, if reCAPTCHA (by Google) is enabled by the site owner, the sharing party’s IP address will be shared with that service. You can find Google’s privacy policy here.
WordPress.com Stats
Data Used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code. Important: The site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views but cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.
Activity Tracked: Post and page views, video plays (if videos are hosted by WordPress.com), outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. Jetpack tracks performance on each page load when this module is enabled, including the Javascript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites to ensure our plugin and code are not causing performance issues. This includes tracking page load times and resource loading duration (image files, Javascript files, CSS files, etc.). The site owner can force this feature to honor DNT settings of visitors. By default, DNT is currently not honored.
