Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-05-02. This policy explains how LDS Statistics handles visitor, usage, and operational data.

Who operates this site

LDS Statistics is operated by 9thBit LLC at ldsstatistics.com.

Questions about privacy may be sent to support@9thbit.net. Legal or copyright reports may be sent to reports@9thbit.net.

Data we collect

Basic technical request data needed to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and diagnose errors.
Audience analytics through Matomo, if enabled for this site.
No user-submitted publication workflow is currently operated on this site.
This site does not currently require visitor accounts.
This site does not currently process payments.

How we use data

To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the site.
To understand aggregate usage patterns without selling visitor data.
To maintain public informational pages, datasets, charts, and source records.
To respond to support, abuse, copyright, takedown, and legal requests.

Analytics

We expect to use Matomo for audience analytics across related 9thBit LDS-family sites. Analytics should be configured to avoid selling data and to minimize unnecessary personal tracking.

Essential security, hosting, and delivery logs may still exist even when optional analytics are disabled.

Sharing

We do not sell visitor data.
Service providers may process data only as needed for hosting, analytics, security, payments, communications, or operations.
Information may be disclosed when required to comply with law, enforce terms, prevent abuse, or protect rights and safety.

Retention and controls

Operational logs and analytics are retained only as long as reasonably useful for security, diagnostics, trend analysis, or legal compliance.

Because this site currently has no visitor account system, privacy requests should be sent by email.
