Minimal content measurement
When analytics is enabled, Stark Integrity uses PostHog to count a small set of anonymous interactions with the public podcast library, episode pages, companion articles, and external listening or article references. This helps us understand whether visitors can find and use the educational content.
What we measure
We may count a library view, the use of search or a controlled topic filter, an episode selection or view, whether 50 or 90 percent of a companion article reached the viewport, and whether a visitor opened Buzzsprout or an external article reference. Search is represented only by a yes-or-no value and a broad length range; the words entered are never sent to analytics.
What we do not collect
We do not send PostHog names, email addresses, account identities, raw searches, article or page text, episode titles, full URLs, query strings, referrers, visitor IP addresses, or precise location. We do not use analytics cookies, browser storage, persistent identifiers, device fingerprinting, automatic page tracking, autocapture, session replay, heatmaps, surveys, feature flags, or console recording.
How the anonymous identifier works
The site creates a random identifier in temporary browser memory so related content interactions in one open tab can be counted without knowing who the visitor is. It is not saved in a cookie or browser storage and disappears when the page is reloaded or the tab closes. PostHog is instructed not to create a person profile or derive location from these events.
External audio and references
Buzzsprout and other websites linked from podcast articles operate under their own privacy practices. They receive a request when an episode page loads an embedded player or when a visitor opens an external link. Our analytics records only the destination category, not the address opened.
