removes Viral Loops as a fingerprinter and tracker
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Viral Loops updated its public policy to make clear it does not track or engage in fingerprinting. Specifically, they state: "When our widgets and snippets are installed on third party websites, we apply rate-limit tactics based only on the IP address of the visitor, in order to prevent our public API from being abused. These IP addresses are saved in temporary storage that expires after 1 minute. In case our public API is being abused, we reserve the right to collect and process the offending IP address(es) to protect our customers and systems. Otherwise, Viral Loops does not collect, retain or share any personally identifiable information gathered on sites or apps not owned by Viral Loops. This includes both unique user identifiers and IP addresses. Viral Loops does not use the domain viral-loops.com for fingerprinting."
