App user preferences/statistics

Some areas of the Cardiff University Open Day app will save the user’s preferences to the users device to aid the user experience (e.g. to save programme details and the language selection).

The Cardiff University Open Day app uses hosted web analytics software. These are hosted services provided and managed by third party companies. Cardiff University's main supplier of hosted web analytics is Google. Google Analytics is used to help analyse how users navigate our app. The information generated regarding our app, including your IP address, will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be hosted in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating use of our app, compiling reports on app activity for app operators and providing other related services to Cardiff University. The IP address itself is not data that can be accessed through Google Analytics. All data in Google Analytics is aggregated and anonymised.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information for Google.
