# Create a Privatus Analytics account

> Sign up for Privatus Analytics with Google, GitHub or just your email (no password needed) and create a workspace for your sites and team.

## Sign up

Go to **Sign up** on the website and pick one of three options:

- **Sign up with Google** or **Sign up with GitHub**: we use the verified
  email address of that account.
- **Send me a login link**: enter your email and open the link we send
  you. It works once, for 15 minutes. Opening it creates your account and
  signs you in. Nothing is created until you open it, so a mistyped
  address leaves no account behind.

The same "Email me a login link" option on the login page also creates an
account for an email that doesn't have one yet. You can add a password, a
passkey or two-factor authentication later under **Account settings →
Security** (see [Two-factor authentication](/docs/teams/two-factor)).

Continuing with any option confirms you are 18 or older and accepts the
Terms of Service, which include our Data Processing Agreement (DPA), and
the Privacy Policy. You don't need to sign anything else to use Privatus Analytics
with personal data under the GDPR. See [Privacy & compliance](/docs/privacy).

## Your email is already verified

Google, GitHub and the email link all prove that you own the address, so
there is no separate confirmation email.

## Create a workspace

A **workspace** holds your sites, members, billing and API tokens. Most
people need one. Agencies often create one per client, or one workspace
with per-site access for each client (see [Teams](/docs/teams)).

Choose:

- **Name**: shown in the workspace switcher and in emails.
- **Default timezone**: new sites start with it. Each site can have its own.
- **Default currency**: used to total [revenue](/docs/events/revenue).
