> Follow your users every step of the way Cyberstalking at its finest! As analytics tools get more and more sophisticated, one question keeps bugging me. Are companies lying when they say in their privacy policy that they will not share user data with anyone except when compelled to do so by law, and then paste a couple of lines of third-party analytics code in their footers? It's not uncommon for Ghostery to alert me about 5-10 third-party tracking tools on a single page. Some companies mention analytics explicitly in their privacy policy. But many websites don't. Privacy paranoia aside, I'm curious about the legal aspect of using analytics tools, and whether Mixpanel makes any effort to help its customers comply with relevant regulations (if necessary).
