Although other sites you visit may also use Google Analytics, the information we gather is not linked to the information gathered on any other site.
Although we have access to this information, it is not us that stores it. The information is stored by Google. Google’s privacy policy is available here: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html
