http://www.julialipscomb.com is a personal website that I’ve created to offer samples of my work and to promote my portfolio. I use analytics to track user engagement on my site, primarily out of curiosity.
I am curious to see which “word poems” resonate with viewers. I am also curious to see if I can track the number of job leads that visit my website. By that I mean, out of the resumes that I send to potential job openings and the posts that I make to LinkedIn, I look to see how many total users that I receive on this website and can annotate from those events. I can’t see any personal identifiers.
For full disclosure, in the analytics report, I can see the following data: # of Sessions, # of Pageviews, Bounce Rate percentage, # of New Users, and Average Session Duration. I use this information to see if people are reading what I write and to improve my services.
I can NOT see who is looking at my website or their locations. Even if I could, I wouldn’t care and I don’t think that I’d be able to make any inferences as to who they are. While I can see basic geographic information, I can’t make any inferences, especially since most people use VPNs that obscure this information. I care deeply for consumer privacy. This is why I have written this personal clause to the Privacy Policy.
