description: offen is a free and open source analytics software for websites and web applications. Users can access their data while the operators treat it with respect.
__offen__ is a web analytics software that gives users access to the data they are generating. Not only operators running sites or applications are given able to use the analytics tools, but also *the users themselves are granted access to and ownership of their data*.
Usage metrics come with explanations about their meaning, relevance, usage and possible privacy implications. __offen__ also details *which kind of data is not collected*. All data can be deleted selectively or in its entirety by the users, or the collection can be disabled altogether.
__offen__ treats both users and operators as parties of equal importance. Users can expect full transparency and are encouraged to make *autonomous and informed decisions regarding the use of their data*. Operators are enabled to gain insights while respecting their users' privacy and data.
__offen__ is currently in the early stages of development and is applying for funds to sustain its development. An early alpha version is running on this site: you can *visit the [auditorium](/auditorium/)* to access your data.
