3. Analytics (Google Analytics)
Emotion Compass uses Google Analytics to understand general website usage, such as:

This information is used only in aggregate to improve the website.

When you view a page with an embedded video:

7. Data retention
Emotion Compass seeks to minimize data retention.
- Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics settings.

8. Individual rights and requests
Because Emotion Compass does not create user accounts and does not store data in a way that allows us to identify individual visitors, we are generally not able to identify or retrieve data linked to a specific person.
