GA does not collect personal identifiers, just numbers associated with Users’ devices, and demographic data is only available from Chrome users. By using the Site, you agree to the use and processing of your data by Google, as described above with data retention settings set to not expire. You can opt out from being tracked by GA across the Internet by downloading and installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
