Secure Statistics Collection
Statistics about the usage of Valsight help us to create better features, improve existing functionality and identify and fix potential technical problems. Our statistics collection mechanism does not track any personal data and only collects anonymized data that does not allow to track any actions of individual users. It is secure and follows the principle of data avoidance and allows to include customers in the cloud and on-premise without the use of any third party software.
