# Do you record which website I came from?

Yes, and it is about advertising. We buy placements on other sites and pay creators, so we need to know which ones actually bring people. Wasted advertising money is a cost the product carries either way, so we measure it in the smallest form that answers the question.

The marketing website counts visits and which link brought you, as totals only: no cookie, no visitor record, no third-party script. If you create an account, it stores two short words from a published list: which link you arrived from, if there was one, and how you installed the app, such as “android-play”.

Both words are written once when the account is created, never updated, and deleted with your account. Nothing else about your arrival is kept. If you close the tab before signing up, or your browser strips the link, we record nothing. The apps themselves measure nothing about you: open your network tab and check.
