Why We Collect Data
The current plan is to support this site through advertisements. To collect the statistics needed for advertisers we use Google Analytics which tracks users who visit Techno Monastery. We do our best to track our users as little as possible.
What Data We Collect

-
Anonymized IP address

Protecting Our Users' Privacy
We Respect "Do Not Track"
If you have the "Do Not Track" setting enabled in your browser you will not be tracked. That means code for Google Analytics will not run and no tracking information will be reported.
Anonymized IP
We do not track or record identifying information regarding your IP address. This is done by recording only part of your IP address, enough to determine country of origin, but not enough to identify any individual. You can read the specifics on the Google Analytics' "anonymizeip" option.
Data Retention
User and event data collected by Google Analytics is set to be deleted after 14 months from when it was first recorded. This is the minimum amount of time allowed by Google.
