I may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page.

-

Key third party providers
​
Indigo English does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others.
​
Indigo English is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides me with the online platform that allows me to market my services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall. I also make use of a tool from Google called Google Analytics which tells me about the way people are using Indigo English. It uses cookies to detect that someone has been to the site before, so that I can see how often people return to the site, how long they stay, and where they tend to go. I use this to try to work out what kind of experience they’re having on the site so I can make it better.
