We track data about users of the Eta website, the Eta compiler, the Etlas build tool, and any other services we may offer from time to time.
This page tells you what we track, and what we do with it.
All invocations of the Eta compiler store metrics, but the compiler itself does not send these metrics to an external server. That function is performed by the Etlas build tool, detailed in the following section.
For example, this is a sample payload of metrics stored by the Eta compiler:
{"startTime": "2017-07-20T20:02:00.164452Z","mode": 0,"endTime": "2017-07-20T20:02:08.721724Z"}
This includes:
The Etlas build tool does not track metrics of its own and sends the metrics stored by the Eta compiler along with a uniquely identifier for the user’s system to the Eta telemetry server, only if the user had decided to opt-in - a preference stored in the user’s Etlas config file. All the requests to the telemetry server are logged and retained by TypeLead, Inc.
This is a sample of the request log stored on the telemetry server, sent by the Etlas build tool:
91.230.47.3 - - [24/07/2017:02:25:07 +0000] "GET /metrics-api HTTP/1.1" 200 - "" "etlas/1.0.1.0 (osx; x86_64)"
This includes:
The Etlas build tool also queries a binary package server and decides whether to install a given package in binary form or compile from source. All the requests to the binary package server are logged and retained by TypeLead, Inc.
This is a sample of the request log stored on the binary package server, sent by the Etlas build tool:
91.230.47.3 - - [20/07/2017:15:45:35 +0000] "GET /index HTTP/1.1" 304 290 "-" "etlas/1.0.1.0 (osx; x86_64)"
This includes the same details as listed above, since the format is exactly the same.
Like most website operators, TypeLead, Inc. collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. TypeLead, Inc.’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how the visitors of the Eta website use the website. From time to time, TypeLead, Inc. may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in website usage.
TypeLead, Inc. also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. TypeLead, Inc. does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
The Eta website uses Google Analytics to monitor and analyze user behavior. This service provides TypeLead, Inc. with information on users’ demographics, age, location, and interest categories, when such information is available. This information is not used to identify individual users, but can in some cases be very specific. You can learn more about the information gathered and retained by this service at the Google Analytics privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely with the Google Analytics opt-out browser addon.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.
The Eta website uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of the Eta website, and their website access credentials. Eta website visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using TypeLead, Inc.’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of TypeLead, Inc.’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
All user information is retained in raw form for such time as deemed appropriate by TypeLead, Inc. It is shared with employees and contractors of TypeLead, Inc., as needed to process information on TypeLead, Inc.’s behalf.
Raw log data is not shared with third parties, but may be shared in aggregate. For example, we may share the number of active Eta users in a given day, and occasionally TypeLead, Inc. may publish blog posts or reports on the Eta compiler or Eta website usage.
We also analyze log data for a variety of reasons, including counting up downloads and unique visitors, debugging production problems, tracking which versions of Eta and Etlas are in use in the wild, and researching how Eta packages are used together with one another. This helps us to better understand the usage patterns of Eta, and make better decisions about the evolving Eta in the future.
