<p><strong>BT Visitor Insights</strong> is a privacy-friendly, self-hosted analytics plugin. Everything stays on your server — no Google Analytics, no third-party tracking scripts, no data sent to any external analytics platform.</p>
<p>Activate it and your dashboard starts filling with real visitor data: where they’re from, what pages they viewed, what device they’re on, and how long they’ve been around.</p>
<h4>Why use it?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>No third-party tracking.</strong> All visitor data stays in your WordPress database.</li>
<li><strong>Zero configuration.</strong> Activate the plugin and data starts collecting immediately.</li>

<li><strong>Real-time.</strong> See who’s on your site right now (last 15 minutes).</li>
<li><strong>Respectful.</strong> Honors the Do Not Track browser header and skips logged-in administrators.</li>

<p>The Pro version is sold separately and is not required to use this free plugin.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin uses the <strong>ip-api.com</strong> geolocation API to look up the city, region, and country for each new visitor IP address. This request is made server-side from your WordPress installation when a visitor is first seen.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: ip-api.com</li>
<li>What is sent: the visitor’s IP address</li>
<li>When: once per unique visitor IP, server-side</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
<li>Terms of service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal</li>
</ul>
<p>No data is sent to Boulley Technology or any other third party.</p>
