### For users
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.

### offen as a technology
At runtime, __Offen__ is just mediating exchange between users and operators. Usage data is collected in conformance to GDPR and with the concept of "Datensparsamkeit" [^9] in mind. All user data is encrypted in the browser so that it can only be accessed by the users themselves or the matching operator. While being collected in the context of a website or application, neither operators nor third party scripts have any possibilty to access the usage data. __Offen__ itself doesn't have any way of decrypting, processing or even selling the gathered data at any point.

### Modus Operandi
Developing and running __Offen__ can only work out when it is entirely *free of any kind of economic constraints or goals* and its only objective is *contributing to the common good*. Development of a prototype is reliant on public grants or similar funding sources. Long term operation of the software, just like its maintenance and continued development, is tied to resources granted by foundations or being donated by the public.

### Status Quo
__Offen__ is created by [Frederik Ring][frederik-ring]{: target="_blank"} and [Hendrik Niefeld][hendrik-niefeld]{: target="_blank"} and is currently being conceptually designed, both as a product as well as as a software.

#### 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?
