Analytics and Data Collection

This documentation website uses Seline (https://app.seline.com/) for analytics tracking to help us understand how the documentation is being used and to improve its content and usability.

  • Technical information: Browser type, operating system, device type, and screen resolution

  • Referrer information: The website or page that referred you to our documentation

  • Anonymized usage metrics: Aggregated data about feature usage and documentation sections accessed

Purpose of Data Collection

We collect this information to:

  • Understand feature utilization: Identify which documentation sections and features are most and least frequently accessed

  • Improve documentation quality: Determine which pages may need clarification or expansion based on user behavior

  • Optimize user experience: Understand navigation patterns to improve documentation structure and organization

  • Track adoption and reach: Measure how the preprocessing template is being used across research communities

What We Do NOT Collect

  • Personal identifiable information (PII): We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personally identifying information

  • Research data: We do not collect or access any of your fMRI data or research materials

  • Login credentials: We do not track or store any authentication information

Opting Out

If you prefer not to be tracked by analytics:

  1. Browser extensions: You can use browser extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or similar ad/tracker blockers that will prevent the Seline script from loading

  2. Do Not Track: Most modern browsers support Do Not Track (DNT) signals; while not all analytics services honor DNT, enabling it in your browser preferences may reduce tracking

  3. JavaScript blocking: Disabling JavaScript in your browser will prevent the analytics script from executing, though this may impact documentation functionality

For Researchers and Institutional Users

We recognize that many users of this fMRI preprocessing template work in academic or research settings where data privacy and institutional policies are important considerations.

  • This analytics tracking is applied only to the documentation website, not to any code you run or data you process

  • No information about your research subjects, data, or institutional affiliations is collected

  • The preprocessing template itself contains no tracking or telemetryβ€”analytics apply only to this documentation site
