3. Analytics#
Aviatopia uses privacy-preserving analytics to measure aggregated traffic and content interactions. We do not use Google Analytics.
Self-hosted Umami#
Aviatopia uses a self-hosted Umami instance for website analytics. Umami is configured without analytics cookies, session replay, heatmaps, or persistent user identifiers.
Umami may collect information such as:

Analytics data are stored on infrastructure controlled by Aviatopia. We do not send names, email addresses, or account identifiers to Umami.
Data retention: See the Umami deployment configuration for the active retention period.
Vercel Web Analytics (temporary)#
During a comparison period, Aviatopia also uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregated, cookie-free usage measurement. This layer may collect similar high-level traffic metrics. Custom events are mirrored to both Umami and Vercel while the comparison runs.
Optional PostHog (cookie-based)#

The information collected across these tools is used solely for:
- Website performance monitoring
