• Berlin website owners need consent for using Google Analytics

  Website owners in Berlin need consent for using Google Analytics

  According to the Berlin Data Protection Office, if you’re a website owner collecting and sending data to third-party services (like Google Analytics) who are also using that data “for own purpose uses” in Berlin, you are now required to ask for specific consent from visitors in order to collect that information. 

  This means you can only use Google Analytics or similar services once you’ve gotten consent from visitors. In contrast, Matomo does not use information from Cloud or On-Premise users for “own purpose uses”.

  Consent is also needed when keystrokes or mouse movements are recorded. That means you need users to consent to your usage of features like Heatmaps and Session Recordings.

  It’s advised that website owners in Berlin should check their websites for third-party content and tracking mechanisms. If you do use these third-party functions that require consent, you must either get consent or remove the functions. Consent is only effective if the visitor (whose data you’re collecting) is informed and agrees to their data being processed.

  Currently this applies to website owners in Berlin, and should likely be applied for the whole of Germany to be on the safe side.

• Piwik is now Matomo – Announcement

  
  9 janvier 2018, par Matomo Core Team

  You may be surprised to read this announcement, but no stress, take a deep breath, nothing big is going to happen, it is just our name that is changing and here are the reasons why.

  

  Why are we changing from Piwik to Matomo ?

  “After an epic 10 year journey creating and perfecting the best open digital analytics solution, we felt it was a good time to refresh our brand to reflect how far we have come and to reaffirm our vision :
  To create, as a community, the leading international open source digital analytics platform, that gives every user full control of their data.”

  Matthieu Aubry, creator of Piwik

  As projects evolve, so do names. After 10 years of Piwik and the amazing achievement of building the top open source analytics software that gives every user full control of their data, we are now looking forward to the next chapter. Thus, Piwik, the community project, will now become Matomo. The only change is our name, everything else stays the same.

  This will allow users to take a fresh look at what we’ve become today and acknowledging all of the community’s hard work over the past 10 years. In addition, we also want our name to be unique, ensuring that it is not shared with any other company to remove any possible confusion or affiliations. Piwik is already used on over 1 million websites and with Matomo, we hope to reach our maximum potential.

  With the strong focus on privacy worldwide and the upcoming privacy regulations about to be legislated in Europe, it is clear that we were on the right mission from the very beginning. With the upcoming big release Matomo 4.0 planned for this year, new privacy protections will bring users the tools to be compliant with the GDPR privacy laws. And Matomo will grow in line with these regulations, with a very clear and focused vision.

  Changing our name is an exciting opportunity for us, and we hope you love the name Matomo as much as we do.

  Matomo FAQs

  So what is going to change for me ?

  Well, basically nothing, the name will change but the values stay the same : Matomo (Piwik) will continue to be free and always will be.

  Also the same people stay behind the project. We are motivated more than ever to take this project to the next level.

  Why not keep the name Piwik ?

  For a few reasons, one of which is to ensure that Matomo does not/will not share its name with any other businesses unlike Piwik. We also want to protect the Matomo brand and for it to remain the open source community project name forever.

  Where does the name Matomo come from ?

  We loved the name Piwik and were looking for something that sounded just as good ! Initially we wanted to have an acronym based on key terms, such as Free, Open Source and Privacy, but none really fit us perfectly.

  Until we found Matomo ! Easily pronounced in all languages. Short enough to remember. Concise. And best of all… Matomo means honesty in Japanese. Which aligns with one of our key values – transparency.

  We love the name Matomo and hope you do too.

  What is the vision of Matomo ?

  

  We have come a long way in those 10 years ! However, our mission statement remains the same :

  “To create, as a community, the leading international open source digital analytics platform, that gives every user full control of their data.”

  Matomo provides a range of amazing and innovative features, allowing you to get a 360 view of your visitors. These insights are invaluable to help understand behavior, keep track of goals, and increase conversion rates and revenue.

  Who will deliver Matomo professional services ?

  Any company who wishes to. The only exception is that no companies will be allowed to have the name Matomo.

  Our company providing professional services is and will remain InnoCraft.

  Matomo trademark Policy

  Matomo is an internationally registered trademark of Matthieu Aubry, Founder of Piwik (now Matomo).

  Information about how to use the name Matomo (and logo) can be found here : matomo.org/trademark/

  What are the next big steps ?

  We will keep it simple for our valued users. As it is just a name change, the only thing you will notice is that the Piwik brand will gradually be replaced on the websites you are used to seeing the name on. The first version of Matomo will be available in just a few days for download. The software version numbers stay the same : the next release after Piwik 3.2.1 will be Matomo 3.3.0.

  All our public HTTP APIs and Tracking SDKs will continue working normally. As you can imagine, there is a lot of work and complexity behind slowly updating all the SDKs and keeping backwards compatibility, so our renaming project will take a few weeks to complete.

  The Matomo trademark will later be transferred into the Matomo foundation, a non-profit that will be dedicated to promoting and ensuring access to Matomo and our related open source projects in perpetuity.

• GDPR : How to fill in the information asset register when using Matomo ?

  4 avril 2018, par InnoCraft

  Disclaimer : this blog post has been written by digital analysts, not lawyers. The purpose of this article is to explain you in details how we filled in the information asset register for Matomo. This work comes from our interpretation of the UK privacy commission resources (ICO). It cannot be considered as professional legal advice. So as GDPR, this information is subject to change.

  The information asset register is for us one of the most important parts of the GDPR implementation process. It consists of an inventory of all information systems you are using to process personal data, exactly like a ledger for an accountant. Note that small and medium-sized organizations could be exempted.

  Filling out this register can be a time-consuming activity. Therefore, we decided to show you a real case sample which we did for Matomo Analytics
