|

Visiting a website or using a web application that utilizes __offen__, the user gains access to and ownership of the usage data collected. The cookie used by __offen__ allows viewing all of the associated metrics, the users can *assert themselves what is being collected and what isn't*. Data is being displayed in an accessible and articulate manner and each metric comes with explanations about its usage, relevance and possible privacy implications.

Operators of small and mid-sized websites and web applications are faced with growing challenges not only since the introduction of GDPR: how do they gain insights into what users are interested in and which of the features offered are being used? Is it possible to showcase *transparent and considerate handling of user data* - i.e. neither being spy or data leech - without surrendering and abandoning usage metrics altogether?

Choosing __offen__, websites and web applications obtain a free, open and robust tool for collecting and analyzing relevant usage data. The insights gained enable continuous improvement of these services while still respecting their user's privacy. *Opening up the data to the users does not constitute a disadvantage, but strengthens the relationship with them* by being entirely transparent.

### Part of the public debate
|
||||
|
||||
Transparently handling usage data in the open creates mutual trust while still enabling operators to collect needed usage statistics. __offen__ is designed to be a mediating agent only, and does not side with either users or operators. Sharing knowledge between the two parties creates opportunities for an *open and fact based discussion* about user data and privacy. Users gain insights into what data is being collected and what these data points are used for, just like they learn about which kind of data is not part of the collection. They are enabled to reach self-determined decisions about what they consent with and what they disagree with when it comes to privacy on the web, also in other contexts than analytics.

## Project status
|

|
||||
### September 2019
|
||||
|
||||
We have deployed an alpha version of __offen__ that we are currently testing on a few select sites. Usage data is collected and can be accessed by both users and site operators. Users can opt out and delete their data at any time. You can *follow the development at [github.com/offen/offen](https://github.com/offen/offen){: target="_blank"}*

### Next up
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tech
|
||||
The next big task from a technical perspective is enabling account creation by third parties. This will allow us to open up a beta version of to select operators and collect their - as well as their user's - feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Explainer
|
||||
|
||||
Once the user interface starts to get less volatile at the end of our alpha test, we will start to add explanations to all of the metrics as well as create additional content to educate users about the privacy measures we are taking and about their implications.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Milieu
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, we are researching the milieu on the topics of privacy and web analytics software in more detail. The aim is to create a selection of opinion leaders, bloggers and journalists who will be invited to test and evaluate.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Story
|
||||
|
||||
Our product story is based on three key questions. What makes __offen__ stand out from other offerings in the field? What is the motivation for site operators to implement an open source analytics software that limits the amount of data collected? How can we raise or amplify users' awareness for a respectful handling of their data?
|
||||
|
||||
#### Publicity
|
||||
|
||||
This product story is the starting point for publicity efforts that will start as soon as a beta version is available. They include own blog posts, forum marketing as well as SEO measures.
