Consider adding use of Google Analytics to our privacy policy

[klemay]

As noted by Twitter user gendalus, we do not directly mention the use of Google Analytics in our Privacy Policy.

@dwhly has suggested adding to the section called Sharing Information with Third Parties, under Platform Data Analytics Service Providers.

"We use analytics providers to gather analytics related data reporting capabilities to monitor visitors and usage."

could become

"We use analytics providers such as Google Analytics (with IP anonymization enabled) to gather analytics related data reporting capabilities to monitor visitors and usage."

Noted from an internal Slack conversation:

• We name the primary hosts for our website and platform, but not the other numerous providers, except by category, because we might change which providers we use over time. Do we want to name all providers, or is sufficient to say what information we share and what we do with it?

I would actually suggest we remove details rather than add them to the policy, so rather than adding Google Analytics, perhaps we would remove the other more specific services already listed given that any and/or all might change. Does a privacy policy really need to list the specific providers and technologies used?
