Impression Tracking: When enabled, a small transparent image (1x1 pixel) is embedded in email signatures. When an email is opened and images are loaded, this records an "open" event.

Click Tracking: When enabled, links in signatures are routed through our tracking service to record clicks before redirecting to the destination URL.

Data Collected: IP address, device type, browser, approximate location, and timestamp.

Control: Organization administrators can enable or disable tracking features. Individual signature recipients cannot opt out directly, as tracking is controlled at the organizational level.
