> Google did not tell its users about the security issue when it was found in March because it didn't appear that anyone had gained access to user information, and the company’s “Privacy & Data Protection Office” decided it was not legally required to report it, the search giant said in a blog post [2].
As the owner of Simple Analytics I think it's super important to build user trust. It's impossible to not make any mistakes so if a company never shared any mistakes, it's probably not telling you any.
Let's change this fellow hackers and share our mistakes. That's why I wrote a blog post on a mistake I made last week where I lost some user data. Some people would argue if it's smart, but I see this as a moment to show transparency.
