Inthecloudsnj review for Privy ‑ Pop Ups, Email, & SMS

Aug. 11, 2017

The free app works great, but it also dumps a ton of advertising tags on your site. I've seen other people complain about this too. Privy claims the tags are for tracking customers with more advanced features beyond the free email capture pop-up. That makes sense, but it's something they should let you opt into knowing you may want the historical data later. They should at least be more transparent about it. I have no idea what partners they are sharing it with or how the data is being used. I'm going to uninstall and switch over to a free Mailchimp pop-up while I research alternatives. It doesn't look as pretty or have exit intent triggering, but I won't have to worry about what it's loading on my site. Again, the app works great and the analytics dashboard is helpful, but know they are also tracking your customers using other advertising products.
