  Hi,
  We’re creating a privacy oriented blog and client-side user tracking like QuantCast, WP Stats & Kissmetrics are a non-starter for us.
  Can someone please advise if and how these services can be turned off?
  Thank you!
  Jack

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We’re unable to turn off those services.

  If you want full control over your site, I suggest you install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/

  Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
  http://wordpress.org/support/
  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  I hope that helps!
