In-App Analytics
We use In-App Analytics in a number of our Apps to help us understand areas for improvement.
We do not use analytics in any of our On-Premise Apps (Server and Data Center versions).
For further clarity, please see the table below:
App | In-App Analytics |
|---|---|
| Approvals for Confluence Cloud | ✅ |
| Approvals for Confluence Server/Data Center | ❌ |
| Approvals for Trello | ✅ |
| Compliance for Confluence Cloud | ✅ |
| Compliance for Confluence Server/Data Center | ❌ |
| Hierarchy for Trello | ✅ |
| Issue Charts for Jira | ✅ |
| Matrix for Trello | ✅ |
| Optimizer for Jira Cloud | ✅ |
| Optimizer for Jira Server/Data Center | ❌ |
| Pulse for Jira Cloud | ✅ |
| View Tracker for Trello | ✅ |
An example of the analytics data that is captured by our Cloud Apps is as follows:
- Action
- Action Type – what action was performed – e.g. a card is dropped on the Matrix
- User
- Location – this is derived from the IP address where the hit originated. The IP address itself is not available in GA as it is considered PII.
- Language – derived from the language settings of the browser
- Browser
- Browser name – the browser the user is using
- Viewport or Viewing pane – the size of the browser window
- Screen resolution – the resolution of the user’s screen
Notes
Our analytics products (Pulse for Jira and View Tracker for Trello) store the data required for us to provide the service requested
- Action Types and Object Identifiers are used to provide these services.
- PII such as object names, card names etc. are not stored, only their identifiers.
In-App Emails
A number of our Apps provide email communication for events that occur inside of the App, or the containing Application.
An example of this is when a user’s approval is requested in Approvals for Confluence – depending on the options selected, the individual will be notified that there is a pending approval.
This section only applies to Cloud Apps, as On-Premise applications operate independently from our infrastructure.
App | In-App Emails |
|---|---|
| Approvals for Confluence Cloud | ✅ |
| Workflows for Confluence Cloud | ✅ |
These Apps do not store email addresses and the relevant addresses are accessed as required, following the permission model laid out by Atlassian.
