Analytics does not use, and GIS does not send to Google Analytics, personally identifiable information (e.g. name, email address). Google Analytics does collect IP Address and device (e.g., mobile, desktop, web browser) information from visitors to the website. GIS uses Google Analytics to track resources that are being downloaded from the website (e.g., template forms, conference presentation slide-sets) so that the relative usefulness of tools and resources can be assessed.
