We never send what you type into our forms (such as your name, email, phone number or message) to Google Analytics, and strings that look like email addresses or phone numbers in URLs or search terms are redacted before sending. We do not use advertising features (ad personalization or remarketing). See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
