Privacy, PII, and GDPR

You can easily configure Matomo to not process any PII. Become fully GDPR compliant and learn how you can better respect user privacy, while getting the insights you need for your business.

MetaLocator recommends Matomo

"We absolutely love Matomo. Metalocator needed a platform that provided unparalleled extendibility for endless customisations. In addition it was important to find a tool that gave 100% data ownership, had no data limits and was respectful of privacy."

Michael Fatica | Chief Executive Officer

Matomo is the Google Analytics alternative

Google Analytics is a great free tool, but you may be disadvantaged due to privacy-sacrifices and the uncertainty around data ownership. Not only that, GA places many restrictions on their free users such as data sampling and data processing limits. If these are major concerns for you, Matomo On-Premise could be the alternative for you.

With Matomo On-Premise there’s:

  • No data sampling
  • No need for consent forms
  • No risk of data ending up in the wrong hands
  • No data limitations
Data Sampling Matomo vs Google Analytics. Matomo is 100% accurate.

Raw data access

Raw data access lets you connect your Matomo to any data warehouse you’re already using. Easily import all of your user and customer data from Matomo into your data warehouse. This is useful when you want to merge this new trove of user data with existing systems (e.g. CRMs, e-commerce, billing, ERP etc.). Or, if you’re using a BI tool you can connect it to Matomo and query your users data in SQL and create reports in the BI system.

And if you ever want to move on to another analytics solution, feel comfortable knowing you won’t lose your historical data and can extract any behavioural data.

Choose where in the world your data is stored

Hosting On-Premise means you control your own data and this may be a more secure option for your business. This is hugely appealing to industries that have strict data privacy policies or requirements like banking, insurance, or the government sector.

It also means you can define which country your data is located in as each country has different laws around who can assess your data. 

Important update: On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that any cloud services hosted in the US, like Google Analytics, no longer comply with the GDPR and EU privacy laws. This means you’re at risk of getting fined for continuing to use GA. Which makes Matomo On-Premise a safer alternative to GA as you host it on your own servers, and have complete control over where you store your data. 

Maximum flexibility to have it entirely your way

Your business, your rules. Instead of having to work within the confines of the tool you’re using, Matomo’s flexibility allows you to choose one that can be tailored to meet any business needs you may have.
