  2. BrightVibes has a processing agreement signed with Google;
  3. BrightVibes has the most privacy-friendly settings selected, meaning that the information is anonymized as much as possible (such as the IP address). This makes tracking at the individual level technically impossible;
  4. BrightVibes has disabled select "share data with Google" within the standard settings of Google Analytics. This means that the collected information is not shared with Google or anyone else. Google may not use the information obtained for other Google services.
