This data is used to define the number of people using the website and to better understand the way they find and use the individual webpages, as well as to track their course through this website. Even though GA records data like your geographical position, your device, your web browser and your operating system, none of this information makes you known to the owner of this website. GA also records your computer IP, which can be used to identify you, but Google does not allow access to this information.

Instead, this data will be sent to the owner with an email through the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). The SMTP servers are protected by the TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), which means that the content of the email is encrypted before being sent through the Internet. The content of the email is decrypted at the local PC of the owner.
