Anymail documentation privacy
2+
=============================
3+
4+
Anymail's documentation site at `anymail.readthedocs.io`_ is hosted by
5+
**Read the Docs**. Please see the `Read the Docs Privacy Policy`_ for more
6+
about what information Read the Docs collects and how they use it.
7+
8+
Separately, Anymail's maintainers have configured **Google Analytics**
9+
third-party tracking on this documentation site. We (Anymail's maintainers)
10+
use this analytics data to better understand how these docs are used, for
11+
the purpose of improving the content. Google Analytics helps us answer
12+
questions like:
13+
14+
* what docs pages are most and least viewed
15+
* what terms people search for in the documentation
16+
* what paths readers (in general) tend to take through the docs
17+
18+
But we're *not* able to identify any particular person or track individual
19+
behavior. Anymail's maintainers *do not* collect or have access to any
20+
personally identifiable (or even *potentially* personally identifiable)
21+
information about visitors to this documentation site.
22+
23+
Anymail's maintainers have *not* connected our Google Analytics implementation
24+
to any Google Advertising Services. (Incidentally, we're not involved with the
25+
ads you may see here. Those come from---and support---Read the Docs under
26+
their `ethical ads`_ model.)
27+
28+
The developer audience for Anymail's docs is likely already familiar
29+
with site analytics, tracking cookies, and related concepts. To learn more
30+
about how Google Analytics uses **cookies** and how to **opt out** of
31+
analytics tracking, see the "Information for Visitors of Sites and Apps Using
32+
Google Analytics" section of Google's `Safeguarding your data`_ document.
33+
34+
Questions about privacy and information practices related to this Anymail
35+
documentation site can be emailed to "privacy\<at>anymail\<dot>info".
36+
(This is not an appropriate contact for questions about *using* Anymail;
37+
see :ref:`troubleshooting` if you need assistance with your code.)
