How to Protect User Privacy with HotJar

HotJar is a powerful tool that allows us to analyze user behavior on our website and improve our user experience. However, HotJar also records sensitive information such as mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and form inputs. This means that we have access to personal data that could identify our users or reveal their preferences, needs, or problems.

We respect our users’ privacy and we want to ensure that we use HotJar in a responsible and ethical way. That’s why we have created a simple policy that outlines how we use HotJar and who can access the recordings.

Our policy is as follows:

– We only use HotJar for the purpose of improving our website usability, functionality, and performance.

– We do not use HotJar to collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or credit card details.

– We do not use HotJar to track or monitor users across different websites or devices.

– We do not share or sell any HotJar data with third parties.

– We only store HotJar data for as long as necessary to achieve our improvement goals.

– We only access HotJar recordings when we have a specific research question or hypothesis to test.

– We only access HotJar recordings in aggregate form, meaning that we do not watch individual sessions or single out specific users.

– We only access HotJar recordings with the consent of our users, which we obtain through a clear and visible notice on our website that informs them about our use of HotJar and gives them the option to opt out at any time.

– We only allow authorized members of our tech team to access HotJar recordings for maintenance purposes, such as fixing bugs or resolving technical issues. No other Shadow Robot employee will in any way access the HotJar recordings, unless working on explicit behalf of the tech team for maintenance purposes.

We respect the privacy of our users and customers and we do not collect any personally identifiable information through HotJar. We also anonymize the IP addresses of the users and mask any sensitive data that may appear on the screen. Users can opt out of being recorded by HotJar by following this link: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out.

By following this policy, we hope to provide a better user experience for our website visitors while respecting their privacy and data protection rights. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of HotJar, please contact us at privacy@shadowrobot.com.
