What the website measures, and how where you live changes it

The three levels of website measurement, every signal and why, what is never collected, and the level for every US state.

Seayora measures how its own website is used — which pages, which buttons and tabs, and how fast pages load — to fix what is broken and build what is missing. It is first-party: nothing is sent to an advertising network or a data broker, no session-recording script runs on the site, and nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

Three levels

What decides your level

• Global Privacy Control, or choosing Essentials only: counted only — everywhere, and decided before anything about where you are is looked at.
• In most US states: detailed measurement, under the US opt-out model. Essentials only switches it off at any time.
• Maryland, and Vermont ahead of its law taking effect: standard. Their laws limit collection to what is necessary, so we do not read the device model, exact versions, processor or memory there.
• The European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Quebec: counted only, until you choose Accept all.
• Elsewhere outside the United States: standard, until you choose Accept all.
• If we cannot tell where you are: standard, never detailed.

Where you are only ever lowers what is collected. It never decides whether an opt-out is honoured — Global Privacy Control and Essentials only are honoured for every visitor, wherever they are.

Every browser signal we can read

Each is read only at the level shown or above. A browser that does not offer one simply does not report it.

What is never collected

Which buttons and tabs you use

We count which controls are used — a button, a link, a tab, a switch, a dialog opening, a form being sent — identified by the short name printed on it and the section it sits in. That is what shows us a button nobody can find, a tab nobody opens, or a picture people keep clicking because it looks like it should do something.

• Never what you type. A field is counted when you first click into it; its contents are never read.
• Never what is in a row, a message, a card or a table cell — only the name of the control (“Edit”, “Message”), never the name of the person or the amount beside it.
• Numbers, email addresses and web addresses are removed from every name before it is recorded, and so is your own name.
• A link to a page that carries a private code — a signing link, an invoice link — is recorded without the code.

How fast pages load

Your browser measures how long a page took to show its first content and its largest content, how much it shifted while loading, and how long it took to respond when you pressed something. These describe our page, not you, and are collected at every level.

How long it is kept

Individual records are kept for 24 months. After that they are folded into daily counts per control and the individual records are deleted; a control used by fewer than three people on a given day is counted under “(rare)” rather than by name. Your IP address, account and device details are removed from a visit at 24 months — or immediately, if you opt out.

Your choices

Choose Essentials only in Your privacy choices (in the footer, and in Settings → Your data), or turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser. Your visit is then only counted. The Cookie Policy lists everything stored in your browser and every other company your browser contacts.

State by state

Every US state, the District of Columbia and the territories, with the privacy law that reaches this website and the level a visitor there gets before making any choice. We give every US resident every right whether or not their state’s thresholds are met.

Frequently asked questions

Do you record my screen or what I type?

No. There is no session-recording script on Seayora, ours or anybody else’s. We count which controls are used, by their names; we never read what is typed into a field.

Why does Maryland get less?

Maryland’s privacy law limits collection to what is reasonably necessary to provide what you asked for. Detailed device information is useful to us but not necessary to you, so we do not collect it there. Vermont has passed the same rule, and we apply it already.

Does my location decide whether my opt-out counts?

Never. Global Privacy Control and Essentials only are honoured for every visitor, and they are applied before anything about where you are is looked at. Location can only reduce what is collected.

Is any of this sold or used for advertising?

No. It is Seayora’s own measurement of Seayora’s own website, and it is not shared with advertisers or data brokers.

Why do you record how fast pages load?

Because a slow page is a broken page for somebody on a phone with a weak signal. The timings describe our page, not you.
