Google Analytics (GA) and the Plink Service
As explicitly stated below, certain Plink customers can utilize a third-party Google Analytics integration. Within this, IP Anonymization and other data limiting collection best practices are always in-place. Wherever and whenever possible, throughout the Plink Website and service, we implement and ensure privacy-centric practices like this.
For certain users of the Plink service, we allow utilization of a third-party GA integration. Within this integration, and beyond this, we never collect any PII or continue tracking off of Plink's domains (and owned Intellectual Property).
Plink service and Website is very privacy-centric, so we have adopted and implemented the usage of GA IP Anonymization within our integration to ensure your visitor's data privacy. Anonymizing IPs in Google Analytics tracking code eliminates the potential collection of any personal user data, as per GDPR. More information from GA is available here and from Plink, in our documentation, here.
