After consent, GA4 helps us understand whether the site is useful: page views, referrers, session duration, device/browser information, and approximate location derived from network data. The GA4 measurement ID is configured per deployment through a repository secret, not hard-coded in this page. Google's processing is governed by [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). You can also use the [Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

32
### Google Fonts
33
34
-SquadScope loads Inter and JetBrains Mono from Google Fonts. When your browser requests those font files, Google may receive request metadata such as your IP address and user-agent under [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

## Your rights

Under GDPR Articles 15–22, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, or object to processing of your personal data. You can also withdraw analytics consent at any time.

-Because SquadScope holds no first-party visitor data, most practical data-subject requests need to be exercised directly with the third party that controls the data: [GitHub privacy requests](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement) for hosting logs, and [Google privacy controls](https://policies.google.com/privacy#infocontrols) or [Google's privacy request tools](https://support.google.com/policies/troubleshooter/7575787) for GA4 or Fonts data. You can still [open a SquadScope issue](https://github.com/jmservera/SquadScope/issues/new) if you need help identifying the right route.

## How to withdraw analytics consent
61
62
-Use the **Manage cookies** button in the footer to reopen cookie preferences, turn off Analytics, and save. You can also delete SquadScope cookies in your browser settings. Withdrawal stops future GA4 events from this browser; it does not automatically delete data already controlled by Google.
