• How should I write my privacy notice for Matomo Analytics under GDPR ?

  24 avril 2018, par InnoCraft

  Important note : this blog post has been written by digital analysts, not lawyers. The purpose of this article is to show you an example of a privacy notice for Matomo under GDPR. This work comes from our interpretation of the UK privacy commission : ICO. It cannot be considered as professional legal advice. So as GDPR, this information is subject to change. We strongly advise you to have a look at the different privacy authorities in order to have up to date information.

  A basic rule of thumb is that if you are not processing personal data, then you do not need to show any privacy notice. But if you are doing so, such as processing full IP addresses, then a privacy notice is required at the time of the data collection. Please note that personal data may also be hidden, for example, in page titles or page URLs.

  In this blog post, we will define what a privacy notice is according to GDPR and how to write it if you are using Matomo and you are processing personal data.

  What is a privacy notice under GDPR ?

  One of the most important rights that a data subject has under GDPR, is the right to be informed about the collection and use of their personal data.

  Here is what ICO is saying about the privacy notice :

  “You must provide individuals with information including : your purposes for processing their personal data, your retention periods for that personal data, and who it will be shared with. We call this ‘privacy information’.”

  “When you collect personal data from the individual it relates to, you must provide them with privacy information at the time you obtain their data.”

  Note that a privacy notice is different from a privacy policy.

  The privacy notice has to include :

  • the reasons why you are processing the personal data
  • for how long
  • who the different parties you are going to share them with are

  So whatever lawful basis you are using (explicit consent or legitimate interest), you need to have a privacy notice if you collect personal data.

  What does this privacy notice look like ?

  ICO is providing best practices in order to display the information :

  • a layered approach
  • dashboards
  • just-in-time notices
  • icons
  • mobile and smart device functionalities

  Once more, it really depends on the data you are processing with Matomo. If you wish to track personal data on the entire website, you will probably have an upper or footer privacy notice such as :

  

  If you wish to process specific data, you could also insert just-in-time notices such as :

  

  What is the information you need to disclose to the final user ?

  To us, there are two things to distinguish between the privacy notice and the privacy policy.

  According to ICO, the privacy notice needs to include the 3 following elements :

  • the reasons why you are processing the personal data
  • for how long
  • who are the different parties you are going to share them with

  But you also need to inform them about :

  • The name and contact details of your organisation.
  • The name and contact details of your representative (if applicable).
  • The contact details of your data protection officer (if applicable).
  • The purposes of the processing.
  • The lawful basis for the processing.
  • The legitimate interests for the processing (if applicable).
  • The categories of personal data obtained (if the personal data is not obtained from the individual it relates to).
  • The recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data.
  • The details of transfers of the personal data to any third countries or international organisations (if applicable).
  • The retention periods for the personal data.
  • The rights available to individuals in respect of the processing.
  • The right to withdraw consent (if applicable).
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
  • The source of the personal data (if the personal data is not obtained from the individual it relates to).
  • The details of whether individuals are under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide the personal data (if applicable, and if the personal data is collected from the individual it relates to).
  • The details of the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling (if applicable).

  Pretty long, don’t you think ? In order to reduce it, you can either adopt a layered approach where your “pop-up” window will act as a drop down menu. Or from what we understood, page 5 of this document provided by ICO, a privacy notice can link to a more detailed document, such as a privacy policy page.

  Examples

  Let’s take the example of a website which tracks the non-anonymised full IP address, and using User ID functionality to keep track of logged-in users. Under GDPR, the owner of the website will have to choose either to process personal data based on “Legitimate interests” or on “Consent”. Here is how it will look like :

• The neutering of Google Code-In 2011

  23 octobre 2011, par Dark Shikari — development, GCI, google, x264

  Posting this from the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit, at a session about Google Code-In !

  Google Code-In is the most innovative open-source program I’ve ever seen. It provided a way for students who had never done open source — or never even done programming — to get involved in open source work. It made it easy for people who weren’t sure of their ability, who didn’t know whether they could do open source, to get involved and realize that yes, they too could do amazing work — whether code useful to millions of people, documentation to make the code useful, translations to make it accessible, and more. Hundreds of students had a great experience, learned new things, and many stayed around in open source projects afterwards because they enjoyed it so much !

  x264 benefitted greatly from Google Code-In. Most of the high bit depth assembly code was written through GCI — literally man-weeks of work by an professional developer, done by high-schoolers who had never written assembly before ! Furthermore, we got loads of bugs fixed in ffmpeg/libav, a regression test tool, and more. And best of all, we gained a new developer : Daniel Kang, who is now a student at MIT, an x264 and libav developer, and has gotten paid work applying the skills he learned in Google Code-In !

  Some students in GCI complained about the system being “unfair”. Task difficulties were inconsistent and there were many ways to game the system to get lots of points. Some people complained about Daniel — he was completing a staggering number of tasks, so they must be too easy. Yet many of the other students considered these tasks too hard. I mean, I’m asking high school students to write hundreds of lines of complicated assembly code in one of the world’s most complicated instruction sets, and optimize it to meet extremely strict code-review standards ! Of course, there may have been valid complaints about other projects : I did hear from many students talking about gaming the system and finding the easiest, most “profitable” tasks. Though, with the payout capped at $500, the only prize for gaming the system is a high rank on the points list.

  According to people at the session, in an effort to make GCI more “fair”, Google has decided to change the system. There are two big changes they’re making.

  Firstly, Google is requiring projects to submit tasks on only two dates : the start, and the halfway point. But in Google Code-In, we certainly had no idea at the start what types of tasks would be the most popular — or new ideas that came up over time. Often students would come up with ideas for tasks, which we could then add ! A waterfall-style plan-everything-in-advance model does not work for real-world coding. The halfway point addition may solve this somewhat, but this is still going to dramatically reduce the number of ideas that can be proposed as tasks.

  Secondly, Google is requiring projects to submit at least 5 tasks of each category just to apply. Quality assurance, translation, documentation, coding, outreach, training, user interface, and research. For large projects like Gnome, this is easy : they can certainly come up with 5 for each on such a large, general project. But often for a small, focused project, some of these are completely irrelevant. This rules out a huge number of smaller projects that just don’t have relevant work in all these categories. x264 may be saved here : as we work under the Videolan umbrella, we’ll likely be able to fudge enough tasks from Videolan to cover the gaps. But for hundreds of other organizations, they are going to be out of luck. It would make more sense to require, say, 5 out of 8 of the categories, to allow some flexibility, while still encouraging interesting non-coding tasks.

  For example, what’s “user interface” for a software library with a stable API, say, a libc ? Can you make 5 tasks out of it that are actually useful ?

  If x264 applied on its own, could you come up with 5 real, meaningful tasks in each category for it ? It might be possible, but it’d require a lot of stretching.

  How many smaller or more-focused projects do you think are going to give up and not apply because of this ?

  Is GCI supposed to be something for everyone, or just or Gnome, KDE, and other megaprojects ?

• How to concat multiple video files which have different stream order with FFmpeg ?

  2 février 2019, par Twisted Lullaby

  I have 3 video files with following info :

  Input #0, mpegts, from '01.ts':
  
    Duration: 00:00:06.08, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 931 kb/s
  
    Program 1
  
      Stream #0:0[0x101]: Audio: aac (LC) ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 65 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:1[0x102]: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(progressive), 852x480 [SAR 640:639 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
  
  
  
  
  
  Input #0, mpegts, from '02.ts':
  
    Duration: 00:00:06.06, start: 6.016000, bitrate: 872 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:0[0x102]: Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(progressive), 852x480 [SAR 640:639 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
  
      Stream #0:1[0x101]: Audio: aac (LC), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 66 kb/s
  
  
  
  
  
  Input #0, mpegts, from '03.ts':
  
    Duration: 00:00:06.07, start: 12.010667, bitrate: 822 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:0[0x102]: Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(progressive), 852x480 [SAR 640:639 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
  
      Stream #0:1[0x101]: Audio: aac (LC), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 69 kb/s

  Most of them are the same, but somehow 01.ts has different stream order with the other two. My question is, how to concat them ? I’ve tried to put them in a txt file and concat :

  -f concat -safe 0 -i video_file.txt -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc output.mp4

  But it’s not working. Error message is :

  Error parsing ADTS frame header!
  
  Error applying bitstream filters to an output packet for stream #0:1.

  And what if I have hundreds of video files that may have diffrent stream order like this ?

  EDIT

  aergistal’s answer is correct, but I have another problem : in another collection of videos, the stream ids are different, as following :

  Input #0, mpegts, from 'another1.ts':
  
    Duration: 00:00:08.04, start: 17.401333, bitrate: 284 kb/s
  
    Program 1
  
      Metadata:
  
        service_name    : Service01
  
        service_provider: FFmpeg
  
      Stream #0:0[0x100]: Video: h264 (Constrained Baseline) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(progressive), 352x288 [SAR 16:11 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
  
      Stream #0:1[0x101]: Audio: aac (LC) ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 124 kb/s
  
  
  
  
  
  Input #0, mpegts, from 'another2.ts':
  
    Duration: 00:00:08.04, start: 33.401333, bitrate: 300 kb/s
  
    Program 1
  
      Metadata:
  
        service_name    : Service01
  
        service_provider: FFmpeg
  
      Stream #0:0[0x100]: Video: h264 (Constrained Baseline) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(progressive), 352x288 [SAR 16:11 DAR 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
  
      Stream #0:1[0x101]: Audio: aac (LC) ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 145 kb/s

  Is there a way to set the exact_stream_id automatically instead of check it everytime ?
