Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 26, 2025

At Databasus, we take your privacy seriously. This privacy policy explains how we handle data when you visit our website.

Our commitment to privacy

We believe in transparency and respect for user privacy. Our approach is simple: we collect only anonymous, non-personal data to understand how our website is used and to improve the user experience.

Anonymous analytics

To understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve the user experience, we use Rybbit.io, a privacy-compliant analytics service.

Rybbit.io is specifically designed to respect user privacy while providing valuable insights about website usage. Unlike traditional analytics tools, it does not track individual users or collect personal information.

Why we use analytics

We use analytics to:

  • Understand which pages are most valuable to our users
  • Identify technical issues and improve website performance
  • Make data-driven decisions about content and feature development
  • Measure the effectiveness of our documentation and resources

What we collect

We collect only anonymous, aggregated data about website usage:

  • Page views - which pages are visited
  • Referral sources - where visitors came from (e.g., search engines, social media)
  • Browser and device type - general information about the technology used (e.g., Chrome on Windows, Safari on iOS)
  • Geographic region - country or region only, not precise location
  • Time on page - how long visitors spend on each page

What we do NOT collect

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We do NOT collect:

  • IP addresses - your IP address is never logged or stored
  • Personal information - no names, emails, phone numbers or any personally identifiable information
  • Precise location data - we only collect country-level geographic information
  • Browser fingerprints - we do not use fingerprinting techniques to track users
  • Cross-site tracking - we do not track your activity across other websites

User identification

To distinguish between unique visitors without compromising privacy, Rybbit.io generates a randomly generated, salted user ID for each visitor.

This ID:

  • Is completely anonymous and cannot be linked to you
  • Is randomly generated and cryptographically salted
  • Does not contain or derive from any personal information
  • Cannot be used to identify or track you across websites
  • Is used solely for counting unique visitors and session analysis

GDPR & privacy compliance

Our analytics approach is fully compliant with privacy regulations including:

  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) - European Union
  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) - United States
  • PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) - United Kingdom

Rybbit.io is designed to be privacy-compliant by default, meaning:

  • No consent banners are required
  • No cookies are used for tracking
  • No personal data is processed
  • Data cannot be used to identify individuals

No tracking cookies

We do not use cookies for tracking or analytics purposes. Rybbit.io operates without cookies, eliminating the need for cookie consent banners and respecting your browser settings.

This means you can browse our website freely without worrying about tracking cookies or having to accept cookie policies.

Data storage

All analytics data is stored on our own server. We maintain full control over the data and infrastructure, ensuring:

  • Data remains under our direct control
  • No third-party access to analytics data
  • Data is stored securely with industry-standard practices
  • Analytics data is retained only as long as necessary for statistical purposes

Because all data is anonymous and aggregated, there is no risk to individual privacy even in the unlikely event of a data breach.

Your rights

Because we do not collect any personal data, there is no personal information to access, modify or delete. The anonymous analytics data we collect cannot be linked to you as an individual.

However, you have the right to:

  • Opt out of analytics - you can block analytics by using browser extensions or privacy-focused browsers
  • Request information - contact us if you have questions about our data practices
  • Report concerns - notify us if you believe our practices violate privacy regulations

Third-party services

Our website uses Rybbit.io for analytics. No other third-party tracking or analytics services are used. Rybbit.io does not share data with any other parties.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.

Material changes will be prominently noted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Summary

In short: We use privacy-compliant anonymous analytics to understand how our website is used. We do not collect any personal information, IP addresses or use tracking cookies. All data is stored on our own server and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. Your privacy is fully protected.
