Devs - The Fineract PMC has approved adding website tracking (via a service called Scarf) to our downloads and documents. There will be analytics provided to the project on a regular basis when we get actionable information.
Apache Fineract(R) will use Scarf to gain insights into downloads and users to more effectively understand the population of users and their needs. This will complement our existing data from Apache infra. Scarf[1] is on a list of approved vendors at Apache [2]. Apache recommends against using Google and approves of Scarf[3] > "Yes: Scarf has signed a DPA with us, fully supports the GDPR and was > added to our privacy terms. It is possible to use their service." There is a case study covering how Apache Superset uses Scarf. > "Usage metrics gathered through Scarf provides Apache Superset with > valuable insights they can use to drive decision-making. From making more > educated decisions about long-term support for older releases to better > understanding which installation paths are most common in practice. Apache > Superset is able to allocate resources more effectively and ensure their > software meets the needs of their users and community."[4] For now, we are not proposing telemetry style tracking.[5] [1] https://about.scarf.sh [2] https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html [3] https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html [4] https://about.scarf.sh/post/scarf-case-study-apache-superset [5] https://github.com/apache/sedona/pull/1373/commits/19e76e994f53aaa2978d0a98a3aaf9d2427f6f7f <https://github.com/apache/sedona/pull/1373/commits/19e76e994f53aaa2978d0a98a3aaf9d2427f6f7f>
