Mixpanel data classification integration

Automate data classification by integrating MineOS with Mixpanel

How It Works

MineOS connects to your Mixpanel project and scans your user profiles to detect the personal data they contain. The integration supports both EU and non-EU Mixpanel accounts.

Note: This article covers data classification. Setting up Mixpanel for privacy requests is covered in the Mixpanel DSR integration article.

Choose the right integration type

Use the Mixpanel integration type. It identifies users by email address and supports data classification. The Mixpanel User ID type is for privacy requests by distinct ID only and doesn't scan for personal data.

Before You Start

• You need an owner or admin account for the Mixpanel project you want to connect.
• [Optional] Enable Preview mode to view sample PII values alongside classification results. You must enable Preview mode before running the scan.

Setting Up

Step 1: Get your Mixpanel keys

MineOS needs three keys:

1. Log in to Mixpanel. Click Settings in the top right corner → your name → Data & Privacy.
2. Under GDPR API, click Generate to create an API token, and copy the OAuth Token for GDPR APIs.
3. In your personal settings, go to Projects and select the project you want to connect.
4. Copy the project's Token and API Secret.

Step 2: Connect in MineOS

1. Log in to MineOS. On the left sidebar, click Inventory → Add data source, search for Mixpanel and add it.
2. Open the Mixpanel system and go to the DSR & integrations tab. If the system already has an instance, click Add instance.
3. Under Action for fulfilling requests, select Integration. In the Integration Type dropdown, select Mixpanel, then click Set up integration.
4. In the setup wizard, paste the keys into their fields:
   • GDPR API OAuth Token
   • Project's token
   • Project's API secret
5. Click Test your integration so MineOS can verify the keys.

Mark the Scan this source using Data Classifier checkbox and click Finish.

You're done! MineOS has been connected to your Mixpanel project.
