    Hi there,

    Thanks for checking out Independent Analytics!

    IA creates ten database tables as of now, with most of the data being inside the views, sessions, and visitors tables. Here’s what it will look like in your DB: https://d.pr/i/lauOJn

    As for the amount of space it requires, it will be around 50-60MB per million visitors.

    We also save a handful of other options in the DB for the settings, but these don’t take any significant amount of storage. These options are all prefixed with “iawp_” if you’d like to check them out.

    Thanks for clarifying. Don’t know why but I assumed the data was stored off-site, that this was a cloud-based analytics solution. Probably because your website screenshots look like a custom dashboard rather than something inside a WP admin.

    Sure thing!

    Yup, it’s powered entirely by WP, so nothing external or cloud-based.

    At the bottom of the Analytics > Settings menu, there is an option to delete all of the data. Alternatively, you can manually delete all the tables via phpMyAdmin.

    We don’t delete the data upon uninstallation because users will end up accidentally deleting all their data, which would be catastrophic.
