Website Analytics (Google Analytics)

To improve our service and understand how visitors interact with our website, we use Google Analytics. This service collects anonymized data about website usage, including:

• • Pages visited and time spent on each page
• • Browser type and version
• • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• • Geographic region (country/city level only)
• • Referring websites
• • General traffic patterns

Google Analytics processes this data on our behalf and helps us understand overall trends without identifying individual users. For more information about how Google processes this data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

If you prefer to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

INKW Analytics

To understand how our project is used and to improve your experience, we use a private, self-hosted web analytics application. We are committed to protecting your privacy, and this policy outlines the data we collect and how we use it.

What We Collect

Our analytics tool helps us understand our audience and improve our service by collecting the following information about your visit:

• Standard Visit Information: We collect standard web analytics data, including the page path you visited, the source that referred you to our site (e.g., Google, Twitter), and your browser's user agent string.
• Geolocation Data: We determine the country, region, and city of your visit based on your IP address. This information helps us understand our global audience. We also identify network information to detect if traffic is coming from a proxy, VPN, or hosting provider for security purposes.
• User Type: We distinguish between new and returning visitors using an anonymous identifier stored in your browser's local storage.
• Web3 Technology: To understand the adoption of decentralized technologies by our user base, we may detect the presence of browser-based Web3 wallets (such as MetaMask or Phantom) and your preferred blockchain type (e.g., EVM, Solana).
• Bot Detection: We analyze user agent strings and network flags to differentiate between human visitors and automated bots. This ensures our statistics are accurate.

Why We Collect It

The data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• • To measure and analyze traffic patterns to determine what content is most useful to our visitors.
• • To improve the user experience by understanding the geographic and technological profile of our audience.
• • To ensure the accuracy of our analytics by filtering out non-human (bot) traffic.
• • To enhance the security and integrity of our service.

Your Privacy and Control

We take your privacy seriously. Our analytics platform is self-hosted, meaning your data is kept on our servers and is not shared with or sold to third-party analytics corporations.

Anonymous Visitor ID: To differentiate between visits, we use a randomly generated ID that is stored in your browser. For your privacy, this ID automatically expires every 90 days.

User Control: You have direct control over this identifier. You can clear your visitor ID at any time by opening your browser's developer console and executing the following command: window.inkwAnalytics.clearVisitorId().

Security Monitoring

To protect our service from abuse and ensure stable operation for all users, we implement minimal security monitoring:

• Rate Limiting: We temporarily log IP addresses to prevent automated abuse and ensure fair access to our smart contract analysis tool. These logs are used solely for rate limiting purposes and are automatically purged after a short period.
• Error Logging: We may log technical errors that occur during the use of our service to improve functionality. These logs do not contain personal information.

This minimal data collection is essential for maintaining the security and reliability of our service and is not used for tracking or marketing purposes.
