Illegal Analytics Scanner

Maker

Are my website analytics breaking the law? Let's be clear here. Many things can affect the lawfulness of your analytics, and we're not going to comment on all of them. Instead, we're going to focus on what the Schrems II ruling (2020) and the Austrian Data Protection Authority's decision means for your website analytics. The quickest way to know if your analytics are affected is by looking at the statements below. If you answer yes to any of them, then you should consult your legal team or move to a GDPR compliant analytics solution. If you don't know the answer to the questions below, don't worry, we have built a tool below that will scan your website for you. - Is your website analytics provider a US company? - Is your website analytics provider using web servers owned by a US cloud provider (note: it doesn't matter if the servers are in the EU, the US cloud provider owns them and is still subject to FISA 702 and EO 12.333) If you aren't sure about the answers to the questions above, we've built this simple tool that you can use to analyze your website to see if your website analytics are compliant. We created an Illegal Analytics Scanner instead of publishing a list of offenders because we don't want to shame or judge anyone or any company—we want to help folks understand how this ruling impacts your website and move towards being more compliant with it.
