Product analytics

ARender includes a Product Analytics feature powered by Mixpanel, which helps the Uxopian team understand how ARender is used in real-world deployments. It has been part of ARender since version 2023.5.0. The feature is enabled by default and can be disabled with a single configuration property.

Why product analytics​

The goal of product analytics is to help the Uxopian team:

  • Gain insight into how features are actually used.
  • Identify the most and least used functionalities.
  • Prioritize enhancements and new developments on the product roadmap.

This keeps ARender aligned with real user needs and improves the experience for everyone.

Privacy and compliance​

Product analytics is compliant with local data protection laws and respects user privacy:

  • All data is stored in Europe, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
  • No document contents, annotations, or metadata are transmitted.
  • The collected data is limited to feature usage metrics only.

Sensitive information never leaves your environment.
