# Privacy

The full Privacy statement can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BzrKQ0NxFXuDIe2zMA-0SZBNU0P46MHr4GftZmoLUQU/edit).

We do not collect any portion of the HTTP request or a project declaration that can identify data, parameters, or the API. All data are stored locally or on-prem (when the compatible store is configured with the application). On user request, a backup of an HTTP request, API project, or all data can be exported to Google Drive.

We do not provide services to store, share, or exchange user data.

The application uses the Google Analytics service to provide usage statistics. These data are used to prove the relevance of the project to the stakeholders and to perform usability research used during the design process. Google Analytics is an opt-in option in the application and the user has to actively agree to the data collection. This can be enabled or disabled at any time in the application settings. We are taking steps to ensure none of the user-provided information is transmitted to Google Analytics.

**Until version 17** the application was sending a uniquely generated identifier (per application, per user) to the application backend service. This service was recording the most basic usage of the application (number of sessions). This service was removed in version 17. These data were never analyzed nor processed. All data are periodically deleted from the application backend.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.advancedrestclient.com/privacy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
