[DISCUSS] New data privacy policy & analytics in CLI

[Niklas Merz <ni...@apache.org>]

Hey folks,

I just had a closer look at the email regarding the new privacy policy
(attached below). Adding the link is the easy part. Please check out the
PR https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/pull/1243

I am not aware of analytics for the website but we have the telemetry in
the CLI. Do you think we should change something about this? I don't
know much about these metrics so looking forward to your suggestions. 

I'm happy to help if changes are needed.

Regards
Niklas

Subject: New data privacy policy - may impact your websites
To: privacy@apache.org

> Dear PMCs,
>
> The Apache Software Foundation takes privacy seriously and works
> towards becoming compliant with the GDPR (the European Union's General
> Data Protection Regulation). In this first step we are trying to make
> publicly-visible websites and services GDPR compliant.
>
> All websites run by the ASF must be compliant with the new website
> privacy policy and add a link to it:
> https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html
>
> Please remove all “custom” privacy policies.
>
> For further changes we have established a FAQ:
> https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html
>
> One of the biggest impacts might be the removal of Google Analytics.
> Personally, I believe we should not track our visitors at all.
> However, I understand the need to improve our websites. For that
> reason volunteers have created a VM and installed Matomo as a Google
> Analytics replacement.
>
> You can look at Matomo here:
> https://analytics.apache.org/
>
> If you need to learn more about your users, you can ask for a site ID
> and tracking code at privacy@apache.org and join Apache Flink, Apache
> Shiro, Apache Maven and others.
>
> Please note that we are still learning about the new system and will
> add projects one by one.
>
> We hope that all projects can link to the new privacy policy and
> remove Google Analytics until 22nd of July 2022.
>
> If you have any doubts or questions, or need help, please don’t
> hesitate to ask. Also, if you have improvements or suggestions for the
> public privacy policy - let us know.
>
> You can reach out to privacy@apache.org (mailing list) or by replying
> to me directly.
