UKAAF uses Google Analytics to gather, store and collate information about website visitors. It tells us how many unique visitors have been to a site, what pages they visited in what order and for how long. The service only reports on aggregate visitor data in anonymous form and does not collect personal information like addresses, names, or credit card numbers. For example, if users fill in personal details on a web site using Google Analytics, that data is not collected by or reported on by Google Analytics.

Google has stated that Analytics set a "high bar" amongst its competitors for privacy protection and noted that UK data protection watchdog the Information Commissioner's Office use the system on its own site.
