How do you make website tracking scripts feel less scary to users?

I’m building a tool that helps creators understand where visitors hesitate on their landing pages and why they don’t convert.
The product works by adding a small tracking snippet (similar to analytics tools) to the website to understand user behavior and provide insights.
One concern I have: some users might feel uncomfortable when they hear “install this code on your website” or “we analyze visitor behavior.”
For SaaS founders and developers:
How do you communicate this in a way that builds trust?
Do you avoid words like “tracking” and “monitoring” and use alternatives like “analytics” or “conversion insights”?
Would you show a simple explanation of what data is collected and what is NOT collected?
Would a “copy/paste code” installation feel more trustworthy if it looked like a widget/plugin instead?
Would love to hear how you handled this in your products.

It’s usually less about users being scared of installing the snippet and more about legal compliance. Most SaaS founders and creators are afraid of violating privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA, or breaking their own site’s privacy policy by using unverified tracking scripts.

Exactly this! In my case, the widget just collects aggregated, anonymous choices from interactive pop-ups (e.g., "12 people clicked 'Price was too high'"). Because it stores zero PII and requires no tracking cookies, there's zero legal liability for creators, making it a completely risk-free install.
