You are so right! Thank you for your feedback.

- no_wizard 7y agoQuestion I have: do you need to actually collect this information at all? I appreciate the no share, but if a service never collects it to begin with then it’s never an issue including if you get hacked for instance. I’m curious not a judgement.
- EduardoBautista 7y agoThe app does need to know what your email address at gmail is in order to work.
- DarwinMailApp 7y agoCorrect! Other than that there is no need to collect much other information at all. Google Analytics is currently how I see how users found DarwinMail & where they came from. Google Analytics also provides info such as users device and browser type. A list of the data Google Analytics collects can be found here: https://www.shivarweb.com/2977/what-does-google-analytics-do https://www.shivarweb.com/2977/what-does-google-analytics-do Google Analytics is the defacto standard for millions of websites across the web.
- markovbot 7y agoShould probably mention that next you your statement about privacy. I would consider an email service that has Google analytics on it not terribly private
- DarwinMailApp 7y agoIt is true that using Google Analytics does sound quite overt. The question remains, how else can I see where my users are visiting from, what browsers & mobile devices are they using so that I may better tailor DarwinMail?
- baldomo 7y agoI would suggest one of the alternatives listed at https://switching.social/ethical-alternatives-to-google-analytics https://switching.social/ethical-alternatives-to-google-anal... . Fathom in particular is open source and can be self hosted
- DarwinMailApp 7y agoWow! Thank you for those suggestions. I've looked into Fathom before. I quite like what's offered. And the fact that's it's open source is the cherry on top :) Thank you very much for the suggestion and for giving me a direct link to check out more.
- kryptk 7y agoI've dropped Google Analytics in favor of good old fashioned server log parsing with several off the shelf tools. The load times of my site, the quality of my stats and the privacy of my users have all been improved.
- DarwinMailApp 7y agoThat's quite interesting. I like the sound of that. Thank you for your feedback.
- DarwinMailApp 7y agoThank you for your questions :) What information are you referring to? I would prefer to understand your question better so I can give you honest and hopefully succinct feedback :)
- markdown 7y ago> Question I have: do you need to actually collect this information at all? In the very comment you're responding to, he says "never record". In this context, this means the same as "never collect".
- DarwinMailApp 7y agoHey there, thank you very much for helping out :)
- dominotw 7y agohow can we take your word for it? not sure who you are. there is no about page.
- DarwinMailApp 7y agoHello, that's another great suggestion! Thank you. Will add it soon. Hopefully, it will help :)
