Welcome to Automattic’s Transparency Report

We release these reports every six months to show the government requests and takedown demands we receive.

What we 
stand for

Automattic’s mission is to democratize publishing, commerce, and messaging. We believe a fully informed citizenry is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and that our users deserve to know what happens with their data.

Transparency

Our users should always know what happens with their data and when others ask us for it. These reports are part of that commitment.

Fighting censorship

We are prepared to go to court on behalf of our users, whether that’s in response to instances of government over-reach, or abuse of the DMCA.

Impact over profit

Something that is explicitly listed in our creed. 

Investment in open source

We believe that open source is one of the most powerful ideas of our generation, and we actively give back 5% of company time to contribute to WordPress core.

Our Transparency Reports

Since 2014, we’ve shared data and insights on complaints, takedown requests, and information demands we receive, highlighting trends and notable cases to promote openness across our services. We believe that companies should provide this kind of information without being required to by regulation, and are continually looking for ways that we can expand on what is included.
