Consent and your benchmark panel
How private benchmarks work: what the panel shares, how k-anonymity protects you, and what happens when you turn sharing off.
What the panel compares
Benchmarks compare you privately against a cohort of similar sites. The panel stays locked until you opt in to sharing; you are never compared without consent.
How your data stays private (k-anonymity)
You are only ever shown a comparison when enough other participants are in the cohort, so no single site can be identified from an aggregate. Below that threshold the comparison stays hidden rather than showing a number that could single someone out.
Turning sharing off
You can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal is forward-only: it stops your data from being included in future aggregates, but comparisons already computed are not retroactively rebuilt. New benchmarks after you opt out no longer include your data.
