Support Developers and provide them opportunities to innovate on Piwik platform.
1) open platform, open ecosystem (marketplace). Users are not restricted, but they are openly invited to collaborate. Piwik is versatile, open to many use cases.
2) Piwik being free does not only mean that it comes at a zero price. It is also ‘free’ as in freedom, granting users liberty to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. So it’s entirely up to you how you use it.
3) We’re honest about the way Piwik is created - the majority of its development takes place on GitHub. It’s not only about making our code easily available, but also taking decisions transparently and making product changes out in the open. Our goals are publicly outlined in the Piwik Roadmap, we also share all knowledge in FAQs and numerous guides for users and developers.
4) Keep full control of your data.
5) Our commitment to advanced user data privacy has been recognised by governmental institutions worldwide.
6) Kaizen (改善) is a Japanese word for continuous improvement, a journey towards greatness. Our goal is to never stop learning and improving Piwik. We believe in personal discipline and responsibility of individuals engaging in a meaningful teamwork to achieve the common goal. We aspire to increase quality, not only of the final product, but also of the processes leading to its creation.
Piwik is truly a global project.
