Design: Privacy

Bldrs manages 3 kinds of private user information:

1. Functional cookies:

• Authentication tokens - stored in browser
• About screen first-time state - stored in browser

2. Privacy config - stored in browser

• Theme configuration - stored in browser
• Usage statistics, to understand user navigation through the application
• Implicit flow through the site, based on URL and page metadata transitions
• Explicit events, tracked by code snippets recording variables

3. Social statistics, to understand type of user, cohort, demographics

Users can opt-out of Usage and Social statistics via the Privacy slider on the About dialog that is displayed on a user’s first visit. The user’s choice is called their Privacy Config.
