How we protect your visitors' privacy.
When a visitor loads your page, here's exactly what happens:
1. We receive visitor's IP address
Example: 192.168.1.100
2. IMMEDIATELY we remove the last 2 bytes
Result: 192.168.0.0
3. We look up approximate location from this truncated IP
4. We create a session hash:
SHA-256(daily_salt + anonymized_ip + user_agent + website)
5. The original IP is discarded - never stored anywhere
The hash changes every 24 hours (daily salt rotation), so the same visitor gets a new session ID each day. We can count daily unique visitors, but cannot track anyone across days or across websites.
Location is approximate by design
Because we remove the last 2 bytes of the IP address before looking up location, geolocation is only accurate to country or region level - not city or neighborhood.
This is intentional: less precise location = more privacy for your visitors.
No personal data = no consent banner required.
Since we don't collect any data that can identify individuals, GDPR consent requirements don't apply. You can use AI Chat Watch without adding cookie consent banners or popups.
All visitor analytics data is stored exclusively within the European Union:
Visitor data never leaves the EU.
