# Connecting Plausible Analytics

[Plausible](https://plausible.io/) is a privacy-focused analytics platform that lets you dive deeper into the activities users are taking on HelpDocs.

HelpDocs integrates with Plausible to make it easy for you to work out how customers are behaving on your Knowledge Base, in a secure and privacy-compliant way.
