Privacy & analytics

We measure how readers use Clive.ai so we can improve the book website and understand interest in Chapter 1.

What we measure

• Visits, page views, active reading time, scroll depth and Chapter 1 button clicks.
• The referring website, campaign labels, broad country and device or browser category.
• Random first-party browser and session identifiers. The browser identifier expires 30 days after the latest measured activity; the session identifier expires after 30 minutes without measured activity.

Analytics records are stored with this site. This analytics system does not store your name, email address, raw IP address, full browsing history or the contents of any email. It does not send analytics to advertising platforms.

Your choices

You can turn off analytics for this browser below. We also respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. Turning off analytics removes the analytics identifier cookies from this browser and sets a preference cookie.

Records and access

Analytics reports are private to the site owner. Reports cover up to 90 days; older records are removed in batches when new activity arrives. This preference affects future collection and does not remove previously recorded anonymous identifiers from historical reports.

Regional audit prices

Where available, we use the broad country information supplied by our hosting network to suggest a fixed introductory audit price. If that information is unavailable, your browser’s time zone may suggest a currency locally. A time zone is not proof of your location; we do not store or send it to a geolocation service, or request your precise device location. You can change the currency; your choice is saved in a first-party preference cookie for 30 days. Unknown and other locations default to USD. This preference is separate from analytics.

Front Door Audit enquiries

If you submit the audit enquiry form, we store the contact and business details you choose to provide, your answers, the displayed currency and introductory price where provided, a submission reference, the time of submission and your consent to being contacted about the enquiry. These records are separate from anonymous reader analytics and are accessible only through the site owner’s private enquiry inbox. Enquiries remain in that inbox until removed; the analytics retention period below does not apply to them.

The form does not take payment, book an audit, send an automatic confirmation email or sign you up for marketing. Please do not include identifiable customer records, confidential or sensitive information, or passwords. To ask about, correct or request deletion of an enquiry, contact vertical@clive.ai and include your submission reference if available.

Chapter requests

Chapter buttons open your email app. Your email is only sent when you choose to send it. Button clicks do not confirm an email request or chapter delivery. Emails sent to vertical@clive.ai are handled separately from these website analytics.
