"You embed a HitBox Pro sensor in your web page source code (the sensor is not visible to the viewer and does not affect page performance). Each time a visitor accesses that page, the sensor sends a signal to the WebSideStory servers. This method allows us to collect hundreds of statistics in real time, available 24 hours a day." The HitBox family of services is built to help Webmasters around the world understand their anonymous site visitor and customer behavior. We act as agents on behalf of some of the largest websites in the world to collect this anonymous information for the purpose of improving online business decision making. Sometimes services such as ours are miss-construed as "spyware" or "profilers." Neither of these is true. None of our services collect personally identifiable information (PII). We also do not engage in the profiling of individuals across multiple web properties, as some ad networks have done in the past.WebSideStory takes protection of personal privacy very seriously and has a long standing commitment in this area. As such we hold privacy seals from BBBOnline, TRUSTe, and are members of the Online Privacy Alliance as well as other industry groups.
