All,
In reviewing the Terms of Service for Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/tos.html
), I noticed that the Privacy Section (Term 7) contains:
"You must post a privacy policy and that policy must provide notice
of your use of a cookie that collects anonymous traffic data."
On ethical grounds and in order to conform with these terms of
service, we need to change our web site. I see two options:
1) Add a privacy clause to our web site
2) Remove Google Analytics from our web site
Thoughts? I'd like to see a quick change to bring us into conformance.
I have some concerns about the data being gathered by Google and have
my doubts about whether or not we should be gathering the data. In the
near-term, I'd be satisfied with the addition of an appropriate
privacy clause to our web site.
