Google Analytics
Counted Wealth uses Google Analytics to measure website traffic and understand how visitors interact with our content.
Google Analytics helps us identify popular articles, understand traffic sources, analyze general visitor behavior, and improve the website.
Depending on the configuration and your privacy choices, Google Analytics may collect information about your device, browser, approximate location, website interactions, and unique identifiers stored through cookies.
Google processes information collected through Analytics to provide reporting and measurement services. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store visitors’ IP addresses, although IP addresses are processed during data collection.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
Counted Wealth relies on third-party services for website hosting, technical operations, and traffic measurement.
These providers may process information necessary to deliver their services.
Google Analytics is one such provider. Information collected through Analytics is processed according to Google’s applicable service terms, privacy policies, and data protection arrangements.
We may also disclose information when legally required, to protect website security, or to investigate unlawful activity.
If advertising networks, affiliate tracking services, or additional third-party tools are introduced, this policy should be updated to explain their data practices.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Email correspondence may be retained while an inquiry is being handled or when records are reasonably needed for editorial, administrative, or legal purposes.
Technical logs and security information follow the retention practices of the relevant hosting and infrastructure providers.
Google Analytics data retention depends on the settings configured for our Analytics property and Google’s applicable retention policies. Certain aggregated reporting information may remain available beyond the retention period for user-level data.
