Does Your Wix Website Extract User Information from a Visitor’s Browser or Device?

In today’s privacy-conscious world, website visitors and business owners alike are increasingly curious about what kind of data is being collected behind the scenes. One common question we get from our clients is:

"Does a Wix website pull any personal or technical information from a visitor’s browser or device?"

If you're wondering the same, you're not alone—and you're absolutely right to ask. At Webx.Marketing, we prioritize both transparency and compliance, and this blog breaks it down for you in simple terms.

✅ What Wix Websites Typically Collect (By Default)

Wix, like most modern website platforms, collects basic non-personal information to enhance user experience and website performance. This includes:

• Browser Type & Version

• Device Type (mobile, tablet, desktop)

• Operating System

• Screen Resolution

• IP Address & General Location

• Pages Visited & Session Duration

These details are primarily used for:

• Analytics and performance tracking (e.g., via Wix Analytics or Google Analytics)

• Optimizing the website’s responsiveness across devices

• Improving security and detecting spam or malicious activity

🔒 What Wix Does Not Do by Default

Wix does not automatically access:

• Files stored on a visitor’s device

• Browser history outside your website

• Camera, microphone, or device sensors (unless explicitly enabled for apps like video chat)

• Personal files or installed software details

Wix complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other major global privacy regulations, ensuring that data collection is limited, transparent, and secure.

✔️ Key Takeaways

• Wix does not extract sensitive user data from a visitor's browser or machine without consent.

• Only general, anonymous browsing information is collected for analytics and performance.

• Webx.Marketing ensures every site we build is legally compliant, secure, and transparent.
