Anonymity   +20
Do they confirm user anonymity?

You are anonymous (identity info is separated from activities or not collected)

"The tagging used by ScorecardResearch is unable to identify the user visiting a page. As an example, our tags may collect such data as a timestamp, the URL, and the title of the web page.  Additionally, the data collected by ScorecardResearch is only used in an aggregated form.  In other words, the reports that are created from this data will never say that Computer 1 went from Site A to Site B to Site C.  Instead, the reports will always be based on an entire collection of different computers, meaning that the reports will contain information like “67% of the entire internet population went to Site A”, or “35% of individuals who went to Site A also went to Site B.”"
