1. Information We Collect

First and foremost, we only collect data that is strictly necessary to provide you with a seamless experience across our platform. The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask for it.

Log Files

Following standard practice, Bit51 follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services’ analytics. Consequently, the information collected by log files includes:

  • Referring/exit pages

  • The number of clicks

Crucially, these are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

Google Chrome Extensions & Software Applications

Furthermore, if you utilize any Google Chrome extensions or software tools developed by Bit51, please be assured that we prioritize client-side processing. In other words, our extensions generally process your data directly within your browser and do not transmit your sensitive information to external servers unless explicitly stated by the specific tool’s functionality.

2. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, Bit51 uses “cookies”. These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited.
