• Analytics for the Internet of Things: collecting all your things’ data with Piwik to stay in control?

  25 November 2015, by Matthieu Aubry — About

  At Piwik our mission is to create the leading free and open source analytics platform, and supporting global organisations and communities to keep full control over their data.

  Our broad mission started 8 years ago and we focused at first helping people to liberate their website analytics data, then liberate their mobile app analytics data. But it is clear that there is much more than Web + Mobile: data is everywhere and a lot more data is being generated by software, people and their activities, robots, sensors…

  I’d like to share an interesting article which highlights one of the growing trends of technology: the rise of the Internet Of Things: 6 Ways Analytics And The Internet Of Things Will Transform Business.

  Here is an extract:

  The tech industry is no stranger to change, but the data derived from the IoT is taking disruption to a new level.

  At IBM’s Insight conference last month, Bob Picciano, senior vice president of IBM Analytics, talked about the rise of the “cognitive business”, or an enterprise that engages with analytics to improve its customer relations, business processes, and decision-making capabilities.

  There are dueling predictions over how ubiquitous the Internet of Things will be, but most indicate that the marketplace will host between 50 and 75 billion connected objects by 2020, signaling novel challenges for hardware manufacturing and development. Software engineers, likewise, may need to completely revamp programs to better exploit the influx of data, while innovators need to wrestle with the changes wrought by analytics.

  IBM’s Insight event unfolded in light of this wave of disruption. The lineup of corporate presenters converged on the same message: Analytics is for everyone, and your viability in the marketplace depends on it.

  […]

  IBM’s Insight 2015 conference sounded off on the most important trends in data usage and management. It also served a wake-up call for developers, engineers, and tech leaders. As the Internet of Things alters the landscape of analytics, hardware design needs to change, software development requires novel approaches, and tech management must become more agile in order to realize data’s greatest benefits.

  So far there are 1 million websites using Piwik… but what if there could be 10 or 50 million things (sensors, devices) being measured by Piwik?

  Together we will be creating the best open source and generic analytics platform, that is engineered to last, and designed to help humanity keep control and gain Freedom.

  We aim for Piwik to be the ideal platform to measure the Internet Of Things.

  We’re still at the beginning of this journey and it will take the best of all of us to get there.

  See you on the way!

  PS: if you’d like to get involved with Piwik, we would be glad to welcome you!

• Today we celebrate Data Privacy Day 2019

  28 January 2019, by Jake Thornton — Privacy
  Today we celebrate Data Privacy Day 2019!!!

  What is Data Privacy Day?

  Wikipedia tells us that : The purpose of Data Privacy Day is to raise awareness and promote privacy and data protection best practices.

  Our personal data is our online identity. When you think what personal data means – our phone records, credit card transactions, GPS position, IP addresses, browsing history and so much more. All so valuable and personal to us as human beings.

  That’s why we cannot take our personal data online for granted. We have a right to know which websites collect our data and how it’s then used, something that’s often not visible or easily recognisable when browsing.

  What Data Privacy Day means to Matomo

  Every year the team at Matomo uses this day as a chance to reflect on how far the Matomo (formerly Piwik) project has come. But then also reflect how far we still have to go in spreading the message that our data and personal information online matters.

  2018 saw the introduction of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to protect people’s data online. As a team, Matomo was at the forefront of this development in the analytics space and have since built a GDPR Manager to ensure our users can be fully compliant with the GDPR.

  With every new release of Matomo, we are ensuring that security continues to be at the highest standard and we will continue to be committed to our bug bounty program. Our most recent release of Matomo 3.8.0 alone added a Two Factor Authentication (2FA) feature and a password brute force prevention.

  What next for Matomo and data privacy?

  As always, security is a top priority for every new release of Matomo and continues to only get better and better. We have a duty to spread our message further that the protection of personal data matters and today is a vital reminder of that. We are, and forever will be, the #1 open-source (and free to use) web analytics platform in the world that fully respects user privacy and gives our users 100% data ownership.

  In 2018 we changed our name, we updated our logo and website, and advanced our platform to compete with the most powerful web analytics tools in the world, all so we can spread our message further and continue our mission.

  Come with us on this exciting journey. Now is the time to take back control of your data and let’s continue creating a safer web for everyone.

  Please help us spread this message.
