    GDPR analytics

    The safest data is the data you never collect.

    GDPR compliance is usually framed as consent banners and data maps. The sharper path is simpler: capture behavior, not identity. No PII means nothing to protect, delete, or explain.

    The field

    GDPR-friendly analytics options

    Not all 'compliant' analytics are equal under scrutiny.

    The principle

    Design the PII out

    GDPR analytics advice usually starts with consent machinery. It should start with minimization: if your analytics never collect names, emails, payment data, or screen content, most of the burden disappears — no deletion product builds, no data-sharing audits, no fingerprinting questions.

    Tenant isolation as a control

    When every customer's behavior lives in its own tenant, boundaries do the enforcement work that policies otherwise describe.

    You keep the signal

    Privacy-friendly doesn't have to mean empty. Behavior — pages, searches, stalls, return visits — powers funnels, intent, and recommendations and sits comfortably outside personal data's definition.

    Compliance by construction

    GDPR-friendly analytics that collects behavior, not identity — tenant-isolated and free to start.
