The service segment.com and ***** offers a single API for tracking users where the user data collected can be sent to many tools and databases. From the Tech Crunch article, ***** , "Segment [is a] startup that allows businesses to use a single API for event tracking in order to send data to hundreds of different tools and databases, including Google Analytics, MailChimp, KISSmetrics, Omniture, Mixpanel, Quantcast, Flurry, and much more." And later in the same article, "The service itself is popular among engineers, because its saves time on implementing the various tracking services that are popular today." In other words, this site's whole raison d'être is to make it easy for sites to track you. That's a bit worrisome on its own, but even more so, at Quora.com, ***** , Peter Reinhardt, co-founder at Segment states that one of Segment's key values is, "... the ability to own your data in raw format. Most services store your data in an aggregate and schematized format. The raw logs we store for you are easy to use for internal projects, and most importantly, we can "replay" your raw data from those logs into any new service you turn on." That means that at least for some period of time, they keep everything the track for every individual in a non aggregated form. This means you (and me). I assume if the "raw data" identifies a person specifically, what is kept and "replayed" will do the same.

This company creates software products that attempt to aggregate and combine non-personal data - collected by various sources of intelligence about the marketing of, and customer interaction with, clients' products and digital assets - to yield a superior unified view to assist clients' success. Although this is ingenious, current trends in Internet use, abuse, and security, coupled with industry's desperate, almost feverish analyses of customer data suggest that the classical environment upon which this company's offerings depend is becoming increasingly unstable and may not last.

I truly don't know what to think of this one. On one hand it appears to compile many analytics together. On the other it's lengthy policies had friendly tones in the wording- but they were so long and complex it made my head swim. I am analyzing every known analytic and I can't figure this one out. Until I know that something is affirmatively safe and good I don't let it run.
