1. Data Controller

The Cloud Metrics ("we", "us", "our") operates the website https://thecloudmetrics.com. For questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].

2. Data We Collect

We do not collect personal data from visitors.

Our analytics are based on publicly available, aggregated, and anonymized consumer reviews. We do not:

  • Require user registration or accounts
  • Use tracking cookies or analytics pixels
  • Collect names, emails, or other personal identifiers from visitors
  • Store links between reviews and specific organizations or individuals

Server Logs

Our web server automatically collects standard log data including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used solely for security monitoring and is retained for no more than 30 days.

3. How We Use Data

The aggregated review data we analyze is used to:

  • Generate statistical market analyses at the city and category level
  • Identify systemic patterns and trends in consumer feedback
  • Produce anonymized reports that do not identify individual organizations

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Cloudflare — CDN and security (DDoS protection, SSL). Cloudflare may process visitor IP addresses per their privacy policy.

5. Cookies

We do not set any first-party cookies. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies (e.g., __cf_bm) to distinguish between humans and bots. These are essential for site functionality and cannot be disabled.

6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

You have the right to:

  • Access — request what data we hold about you
  • Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Erasure — request deletion of your data
  • Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
  • Object — object to processing of your data

Since we do not collect personal data from visitors, these rights are typically not applicable. If you believe we hold any of your data, contact us at [email protected].

7. Do Not Sell My Information (CCPA)

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information to third parties.

8. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including SSL/TLS encryption, Cloudflare DDoS protection, and server-level access controls to protect our infrastructure and any data processed.
