Quick Summary
String Labs collects and stores the information you directly provide to us. This includes your email, and a username/password of your choosing.

String Labs also uses Google Analytics for site traffic insights.
What information is collected
- Username and Password - In order to sign up with an account and access site services, you must create a username and a password.

- Content - many of the site features include submitting comments, code snippets, or other pieces of user-generated content.
- Browser and IP Address information - Your IP address and browser User-Agent may be tracked with your account or some types of content. This is done for the purpose of preventing spam.
