• Introducing Crash Analytics for Matomo

  30 août 2023, par Erin — Community, Plugins

  Bugs and development go hand in hand. As code matures, it contends with new browser iterations, clashes with ad blockers and other software quirks, resulting in the inevitable emergence of bugs. In fact, a staggering 13% of all pageviews come with lurking JavaScript errors.

  Monitoring for crashes becomes an unrelenting task. Amidst this never-ending effort to remove bugs, a SurveyMonkey study unveils a shared reality : a resounding 66% of individuals have encountered bug-ridden websites.

  These bugs lead to problems like malfunctioning shopping carts, glitchy checkout procedures and contact forms that just won’t cooperate. But they’re not just minor annoyances – they pose a real danger to your conversion rates and revenue.

  According to a study, 58% of visitors are inclined to abandon purchases as a result of bugs, while an astonishing 75% are driven to completely abandon websites due to these frustrating experiences.

  Imagine a website earning approximately 25,000 EUR per month. Now, factor in errors occurring in 13% of all pageviews. The result ? A potential monthly loss of 1,885 EUR.

  Meet Crash Analytics

  Driven by our vision to create an empowering analytics product, we’re excited to introduce Crash Analytics, an innovative plugin for Matomo On-Premise that automatically tracks bugs on your website.

  

  By offering insights into the precise bug location and the user’s interactions that triggered it, along with details about their device type, browser and more, Crash Analytics empowers you to swiftly address crashes, leading to an improved user experience, higher conversion rates and revenue growth.

  Soon, Crash Analytics will become available to Matomo Cloud users as well, so stay tuned for further updates and announcements.

  Say goodbye to lost revenue – never miss a bug again

  Even if you put your website through the toughest tests, it’s hard to predict every little hiccup that can pop up across different browsers, setups and situations. Factors such as ad blockers, varying internet speeds for visitors and browser updates can add an extra layer of complexity.

  When these crashes happen, you want to know immediately. However, according to a study, only 29% of surveyed respondents would report the existence of the site bug to the website operator. These bugs that go unnoticed can really hurt your bottom line and conversion rates, causing you to lose out on revenue and leaving your users frustrated and disappointed.

  

  Crash Analytics is here to bridge this gap. Armed with scheduled reporting (via email or texts) and automated alert functionalities, you gain the power to instantly detect bugs as they occur on your site. This proactive approach ensures that even the subtlest of issues are brought to your attention promptly. 

  With automated reports and alerts, you can also opt to receive notifications when crashes increase or ignore specific crashes that you deem insignificant. This keeps you in the loop with only the issues that truly matter, helping you cut out the noise and take immediate action.

  

  Easily forward crash data to developers and synchronise the efforts of technical teams and marketing experts. Track emerging, disappearing and recurring errors, ensuring that crash data is efficiently relayed to developers to prioritise fixes that matter.

  

  Plus, your finger is always on the pulse with real-time reports that offer a live view of crashes happening at the moment, an especially helpful feature after deploying changes. Use annotations to mark deploys and correlate them with crash data, enabling you to quickly identify if a new bug is linked to recent updates or modifications.

  

  And with our mobile app, you can effortlessly stay connected to your website’s performance, conveniently accessing crash information anytime and anywhere. This ensures you’re in complete control of your site’s health, even when you’re on the move.

  Streamline bug resolution with combined web and crash analytics

  Crash Analytics for Matomo doesn’t just stop at pinpointing bug locations ; it goes a step further by providing you with a holistic perspective of user interactions. Seamlessly combining Matomo’s traditional and behavioural web analytics features—like segments, session recordings and visitor logs—with crash data, this integrated approach unveils a wealth of insights so you can quickly resolve bugs. 

  For instance, let’s say a user encounters a bug while attempting to complete a purchase on your e-commerce website. Crash Analytics reveals the exact point of failure, but to truly grasp the situation, you delve into the session recordings. These recordings offer a front-row seat to the user’s journey—every click and interaction that led to the bug. Session recordings are especially helpful when you are struggling to reproduce an issue.

  

  Additionally, the combination of visitor logs with crash data offers a comprehensive timeline of a user’s engagement. This helps you understand their activity leading up to the bug, such as pages visited, actions taken and devices used. Armed with these multifaceted insights, you can confidently pinpoint the root causes and address the crash immediately.

  With segments, you have the ability to dissect the data and compare experiences among distinct user groups. For example, you can compare mobile visitors to desktop visitors to determine if the issue is isolated or widespread and what impact the issue is having on the user experience of different user groups. 

  The combination of crash data with Matomo’s comprehensive web analytics equips you with the tools needed to elevate user experiences and ultimately drive revenue growth.

  Start in seconds, shape as needed : Your path to a 100% reliable website

  Crash Analytics makes the path to a reliable website simple. You don’t have to deal with intricate setups—crash detection starts without any configuration. 

  Plus, Crash Analytics excels in cross-stack proficiency, seamlessly extending its capabilities beyond automatically tracking JavaScript errors to covering server-side crashes as well, whether they occur in PHP, Android, iOS, Java or other frameworks. This versatile approach ensures that Crash Analytics comprehensively supports your website’s health and performance across various technological landscapes.

  Elevate your website with Crash Analytics

  Experience the seamless convergence of bug tracking and web analytics, allowing you to delve into user interactions, session recordings and visitor logs. With the flexibility of customising real-time alerts and scheduled reports, alongside cross-stack proficiency, Crash Analytics becomes your trusted ally in enhancing your website’s reliability and user satisfaction to increase conversions and drive revenue growth. Equip yourself to swiftly address issues and create a website where user experiences take precedence.

• Protecting consumer privacy : How to ensure CCPA compliance

  18 août 2023, par Erin — CCPA, Privacy

  The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state law that enhances privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of California. 

  It grants consumers six rights, like the right to know what personal information is being collected about them by businesses and others. 

  CCPA also requires businesses to provide notice of data collection practices. Consumers can choose to opt out of the sale of their data. 

  In this article, we’ll learn more about the scope of CCPA, the penalties for non-compliance and how our web analytics tool, Matomo, can help you create a CCPA-compliant framework.

  What is the CCPA ? 

  CCPA was implemented on January 1, 2020. It ensures that businesses securely handle individuals’ personal information and respect their privacy in the digital ecosystem. 

  

  CCPA addresses the growing concerns over privacy and data protection ; 40% of US consumers share that they’re worried about digital privacy. With the increasing amount of personal information being collected and shared by businesses, there was a need to establish regulations to provide individuals with more control and transparency over their data. 

  CCPA aims to protect consumer privacy rights and promote greater accountability from businesses when handling personal information.

  Scope of CCPA 

  The scope of CCPA includes for-profit businesses that collect personal information from California residents, regardless of where you run the business from.

  It defines three thresholds that determine the inclusion criteria for businesses subject to CCPA regulations. 

  Businesses need to abide by CCPA if they meet any of the three options :

  1. Revenue threshold : Have an annual gross revenue of over $25 million.
  2. Consumer threshold : Businesses that purchase, sell or distribute the personal information of 100,000 or more consumers, households or devices.
  3. Data threshold : Businesses that earn at least half of their revenue annually from selling the personal information of California residents.

  What are the six consumer rights under the CCPA ? 

  Here’s a short description of the six consumer rights. 

  

  1. Right to know : Under this right, you can ask a business to disclose specific personal information they collect about you and the categories of sources of the information. You can also know the purpose of collection and to which third-party the business will disclose this info. This allows consumers to understand what information is being held and how it is used. You can request this info for free twice a year.
  2. Right to delete : Consumers can request the deletion of their personal information. Companies must comply with some exceptions.
  3. Right to opt-out : Consumers can deny the sale of their personal information. Companies must provide a link on their homepage for users to exercise this right. After you choose this, companies can’t sell your data unless you authorise them to do so later.
  4. Right to non-discrimination : Consumers cannot be discriminated against for exercising their CCPA rights. For instance, a company cannot charge different prices, provide a different quality of service or deny services.
  5. Right to correct : Consumers can request to correct inaccurate personal information.

  6. Right to limit use : Consumers can specify how they want the businesses to use their sensitive personal information. This includes social security numbers, financial account details, precise geolocation data or genetic data. Consumers can direct businesses to use this sensitive information only for specific purposes, such as providing the requested services.

  Penalties for CCPA non-compliance 

  52% of organisations have yet to adopt CCPA principles as of 2022. Non-compliance can attract penalties.

  

  Section 1798.155 of the CCPA states that any business that doesn’t comply with CCPA’s terms can face penalties based on the consumer’s private right to action. Consumers can directly take the company to the civil court and don’t need prosecutors’ interventions. 

  Businesses get a chance of 30 days to make amends for their actions. 

  If that’s also not possible, the business may receive a civil penalty of up to $2,500 per violation. Violations can be of any kind, even accidental. An intentional violation can attract a fine of $7,500. 

  Consumers can also initiate private lawsuits to claim damages that range from $100 to $750, or actual damages (whichever is higher), for each occurrence of their unredacted and unencrypted data being breached on a business’s server.

  CCPA vs. GDPR 

  Both CCPA and GDPR aim to enhance individuals’ control over their personal information and provide transparency about how their data is collected, used and shared. The comparison between the CCPA and GDPR is crucial in understanding the regulatory framework of data protection laws.

  Here’s how CCPA and GDPR differ :

  Scope

  • CCPA is for businesses that meet specific criteria and collect personal information from California residents. 
  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) applies to businesses that process the personal data of citizens and residents of the European Union.

  Definition of personal information

  • CCPA includes personal information broadly, including identifiers such as IP addresses and households. Examples include name, email id, location and browsing history. However, it excludes HIPAA-protected medical data, clinical trial data and other personal information from government records.
  • GDPR covers any personal data relating to an identified or identifiable individual, excluding households. Examples include the phone number, email address and personal identification number. It excludes anonymous and deceased person’s data.

  

  Consent

  • Under the CCPA, consumers can opt out of the sale of their personal information.
  • GDPR states that organisations should obtain explicit consent from individuals for processing their personal data.

  Rights

  • CCPA grants the right to know what personal information is being collected and the right to request deletion of their personal information.
  • GDPR also gives individuals various rights, such as the right to access and rectify their personal data, the right to erasure (also known as the right to be forgotten) and also the right to data portability. 

  Enforcement

  • For CCPA, businesses may have to pay $7,500 for each violation. 
  • GDPR has stricter penalties for non-compliance, with fines of up to 4% of the global annual revenue of a company or €20 million, whichever is higher.

  A 5-step CCPA compliance framework 

  Here’s a simple framework you can follow to ensure compliance with CCPA. Alongside this, we’ll also share how Matomo can help. 

  Matomo is an open-source web analytics platform trusted by organisations like the United Nations, NASA and more. It provides valuable insights into website traffic, visitor behaviour and marketing effectiveness. More than 1 million websites and apps (approximately 1% of the internet !) use our solution, and it’s available in 50+ languages. Below, we’ll share how you can use Matomo to be CCPA compliant.

  1. Assess data

  First, familiarise yourself with the California Consumer Privacy Act and check your eligibility for CCPA compliance. 

  For example, as mentioned earlier, one threshold is : purchases, receives or sells the personal data of 100,000 or more individuals or households. 

  But how do you know if you have crossed 100K ? With Matomo ! 

  Go to last year’s calendar, select visitors, then go to locations and under the “Region” option, check for California. If you’ve crossed 100K visitors, you know you have to become CCPA compliant.

  

  Identify and assess the personal information you collect with Matomo.

  2. Evaluate privacy practices

  Review the current state of your privacy policies and practices. Conduct a thorough assessment of data sharing and third-party agreements. Then, update policies and procedures to align with CCPA requirements.

  For example, you can anonymise IP addresses with Matomo to ensure that user data collected for web analytics purposes cannot be used to trace back to specific individuals.

  

  If you have a consent management solution to honour user requests for data privacy, you can also integrate Matomo with it. 

  3. Communicate 

  Inform consumers about their CCPA rights and how you handle their data.

  Establish procedures for handling consumer requests and obtaining consent. For example, you can add an opt-out form on your website with Matomo. Or you can also use Matomo to disable cookies from your website.

  

  Documenting your compliance efforts, including consumer requests and how you responded to them, is a good idea. Finally, educate staff on CCPA compliance and their responsibilities to work collaboratively.

  4. Review vendor contracts

  Assessing vendor contracts allows you to determine if they include necessary data processing agreements. You can also identify if vendors are sharing personal information with third parties, which could pose a compliance risk. Verify if vendors have adequate security measures in place to protect the personal data they handle.

  That’s why you can review and update agreements to include provisions for data protection, privacy and CCPA requirements.

  Establish procedures to monitor and review vendor compliance with CCPA regularly. This may include conducting audits, requesting certifications and implementing controls to mitigate risks associated with vendors handling personal data.

  5. Engage legal counsel

  Consider consulting with legal counsel to ensure complete understanding and compliance with CCPA regulations.

  Finally, stay updated on any changes or developments related to CCPA and adjust your compliance efforts accordingly.

  Matomo and CCPA compliance 

  There’s an increasing emphasis on privacy regulations like CCPA. Matomo offers a robust solution that allows businesses to be CCPA-compliant without sacrificing the ability to track and analyse crucial data.

  You can gain in-depth insights into user behaviour and website performance — all while prioritising data protection and privacy.
