2.2.2. Data Anonymization Practices

We are committed to protecting your privacy. To ensure this, Cloudflare implements the following data anonymization measures before sending any data to Google Analytics:

• URL Query Parameter Removal: We automatically remove all query parameters from URLs (e.g., converting https://example.com/?q=mind-map-topic to https://example.com/) to prevent collection of potentially sensitive search or form data.
• IP Address Trimming: We trim IP addresses before passing them to server-side loaded tools, reducing the precision of location data while maintaining basic analytics functionality.
• User Agent String Cleaning: We clean sensitive information from User Agent strings by removing versions, extensions, and additional information that could be used for device fingerprinting.

2.3. Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third parties, such as service providers, analytics companies, or other business partners, and combine it with the information we collect from you directly.

We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for detailed information on their data retention practices.
