In addition to request processing, your data is used in the following places:

  1. We use Google Analytics, Facebook Analytics, Yandex.Metrika and Countly to track usage of our platform, allowing us to edit missing, broken or outdated information and proactively curate content based on usage.
  2. From time to time, we may be running private experiments changing the representation or behaviour of the site based on usage. Therefore, parts, or all, of the recorded user data may be used to segment users and derive, induce or deduce, behavioural classes and patterns, reflecting the interests and motivations of a user, that may be used to form meaningful target groups.
  3. Using collected, anonymized data, we may develop features that take advantage of this and improve the user experience for everyone.
  4. We may include anonymized and sampled information in public reports about the progress of PsychonautWiki.
