> I'm curious why you chose to host the data yourself instead of giving customers the data immediately at the point of collection.

I want to build a brand around trust. If people self-host and say they use my software, but are doing different things behind the scenes, it would hurt my brand.

Simple Analytics does host the data themselves, so people know the numbers are not tampered with and the data is handled the same for every customer. If people use our scripts directly, vistors of those websites can be sure that we respect their privacy with our values.
