 * Can I get a run-down of what options/settings/changes this would store in my 
   database?

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for checking out Independent Analytics!
 * IA creates ten database tables as of now, with most of the data being inside 
   the views, sessions, and visitors tables. Here’s what it will look like in your
   DB: [https://d.pr/i/lauOJn](https://d.pr/i/lauOJn)
 * As for the amount of space it requires, it will be around 50-60MB per million
   visitors.
 * We also save a handful of other options in the DB for the settings, but these
   don’t take any significant amount of storage. These options are all prefixed 
   with “iawp_” if you’d like to check them out.

 * Thanks for clarifying. Don’t know why but I assumed the data was stored off-site,
   that this was a cloud-based analytics solution. Probably because your website
   screenshots look like a custom dashboard rather than something inside a WP admin.

 * Sure thing!
 * Yup, it’s powered entirely by WP, so nothing external or cloud-based.

 * The plugin does not seem to ~Will the plugin~ remove its tables and settings 
   on uninstall.

 * At the bottom of the Analytics > Settings menu, there is an option to delete 
   all of the data. Alternatively, you can manually delete all the tables via phpMyAdmin.
 * We don’t delete the data upon uninstallation because users will end up accidentally
   deleting all their data, which would be catastrophic.
