Absolutely not! For the free service we can only sustainably offer a log size of 100 to our members, and we peform the detailed analysis on this. Bigger log files putter a greater strain on the servers and cannot be provided free of charge. We would like to, but it just isn't sustainable. When your log size if full it simply overwrites the oldest entry in the database. You get to use that log size to its maximum!
We 100% absolutely do not. Your personal and private data is kept private. We will not share it with any third parties. And we have no way of getting your website users' email addresses, but if we did we still wouldn't share it with any third parties. We keep the overheads of this site to a minimum and manage to operate it free of charge because of our generous advertisers on the StatCounter website only - not yours.
