Privacy by Design & Company Structure​

Because every metric that appears in the SealMetrics platform must be validated and approved by our Legal Department before being allowed into the product.

No exceptions.

What kind of company is SealMetrics?​

SealMetrics is a bootstrapped European company with no external investors on the board.

Data Collection & Calculation​

What data does SealMetrics collect?​

We only collect four essential, non-personal variables:

  • URL of the page
  • Referral URL
  • Timestamp
  • UTMs
  • User Agent (captured but not stored)

All data is anonymous and isolated.

What data does SealMetrics calculate?​

We compute:

  • Source ID (_adin): Used for attribution
  • No Session ID in Super-Privacy mode (Isolated Hits)

Does SealMetrics use IP addresses for calculation?​

No.
SealMetrics never uses, processes, or stores IP addresses for any purpose — including bot filtering.

Bot Filtering​

How does SealMetrics block bots?​

We use:

  • Bot user agent lists, and
  • Automated behavioral pattern detection

IP addresses are never used for bot filtering.

Cookies & Storage​

Does SealMetrics use cookies?​

No.
SealMetrics does not use:

  • cookies
  • session storage
  • local storage
  • fingerprinting
  • cross-site IDs

Real-Time Tracking & Retention​

Why doesn’t SealMetrics work in real-time by default?​

Because real-time analytics legally requires user consent, according to privacy regulators.
To stay consentless and cookieless, real-time must be explicitly activated by the user.

How many months does SealMetrics store my data?​

We store data for a maximum of 25 months.
Regulators consider retention periods above 25 months as requiring consent.
