FYI: We need to apply the changes to our website and replace Google Analytics with Matomo.
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Christian Grobmeier <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Apr 21, 2022 at 1:34 PM Subject: New data privacy policy - may impact your websites To: <[email protected]> Dear PMCs, The Apache Software Foundation takes privacy seriously and works towards becoming compliant with the GDPR (the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation). In this first step we are trying to make publicly-visible websites and services GDPR compliant. All websites run by the ASF must be compliant with the new website privacy policy and add a link to it: https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html Please remove all “custom” privacy policies. For further changes we have established a FAQ: https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html One of the biggest impacts might be the removal of Google Analytics. Personally, I believe we should not track our visitors at all. However, I understand the need to improve our websites. For that reason volunteers have created a VM and installed Matomo as a Google Analytics replacement. You can look at Matomo here: https://analytics.apache.org/ If you need to learn more about your users, you can ask for a site ID and tracking code at [email protected] and join Apache Flink, Apache Shiro, Apache Maven and others. Please note that we are still learning about the new system and will add projects one by one. We hope that all projects can link to the new privacy policy and remove Google Analytics until 22nd of July 2022. If you have any doubts or questions, or need help, please don’t hesitate to ask. Also, if you have improvements or suggestions for the public privacy policy - let us know. You can reach out to [email protected] (mailing list) or by replying to me directly. Kind regards, Christian Grobmeier -- The Apache Software Foundation V.P., Data Privacy
