Base jurídica

The search box itself can run on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) when used purely to deliver requested results, but the storage of the aa-anonymous-user-id token, click and conversion analytics, and the transmission of IP plus query content for analytics purposes require prior consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive) because they involve storage on the terminal and behavioural analysis.

Método de seguimiento

Client side JavaScript widget (docsearch.js or @docsearch/react) that loads on documentation sites, queries the Algolia Search API via XHR/fetch using a public search only API key, builds an autocomplete dropdown, and sends each keystroke to Algolia servers. The Algolia crawler periodically scrapes the documentation pages and pushes structured records into the Algolia index. The widget collects query strings, click and conversion events, user agent, IP address, and may set a local storage anonymous user token (aa-anonymous-user-id) when analytics or click analytics are enabled.

Ubicación de los servidores

Transferencia de datos fuera de la UE

While Algolia is a French company, its search clusters span multiple regions and queries are typically routed via the closest distributed search network (DSN) node. For DocSearch on open source projects the default region is EU, but Algolia Inc. (the US subsidiary) may process billing, support, and aggregated analytics data in the United States. Algolia relies on Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU US Data Privacy Framework for any transatlantic flows. Customers can contractually request EU only routing on paid plans.
