Matomo Connector for Looker Studio setting up

Who is this connector made for?

The Matomo Connector for Looker Studio is a good fit for institutions and corporations using Looker Studio, NGOs handling multiple entities, marketing agencies with various clients, and small to medium-sized businesses with advanced data practices.

When is this connector not the best fit?

If you prioritise privacy and compliance, this might not be the right fit. The Looker Studio app operates on Google servers, and while we don’t log or store any data, privacy considerations should be carefully evaluated. Transferring data, especially visitor data, to external platforms can have privacy implications.
