### What data does Fathom track?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fathom tracks no personally identifiable information on your visitors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When Fathom tracks a pageview, your visitor is assigned a random string which is used to determine whether it's a unique pageview. If your visitor visits another page on your site, the previous pageview is processed & deleted within 1 minute. If the visitor leaves your site, the pageview is processed & deleted when the session ends (in 30 minutes).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If "Do Not Track" is enabled in the browser settings, Fathom respects that.

### Fathom is not tracking my pageviews
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have the tracking snippet in place and Fathom is still not tracking you, most likely you have `navigator.doNotTrack` enabled. Fathom is respecting your browser's "Do Not Track" setting right now.
