Privacy

Global Impact shares documents through short links and QR codes. To understand how often each document is opened, we keep a simple record of each visit. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number.

What we record

• Which document was opened or downloaded, and when.
• Your IP address, and the country it belongs to, and your browser's description (for example "iPhone, Safari").
• Only if you choose "Accept all" in the cookie banner: a random device ID stored in a cookie named gid, so a second download from the same phone is not counted twice. Without it, a shortened fingerprint of your IP address and browser is used for 24 hours instead.
• The website that sent you here, if any (the site name only).

Why

Only to count visits and unique visitors per document. We do not build profiles, sell data or use it for advertising. Nothing is shared with other companies; the country is looked up on our own server.

How long

Full IP addresses and device IDs are kept for 12 months. After that, IP addresses are shortened so they no longer identify a device, and device IDs are removed. Total counts are kept.

Your choices

Your cookie choice is stored in a cookie named gig_consent for 12 months; change it any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser; the document still downloads. For questions or to ask us to delete data about your visits, write to info@g-imp.com.
