The Google Analytics alternative for GDPR compliance.
Stop worrying about Schrems II and US data transfers. Host Umami on private EU infrastructure. Zero cookies. Zero bloat. 100% data sovereignty.
Why GA4 is a legal liability in the EU\n\nGoogle Analytics 4 (GA4) collects vast amounts of data. Most of it is sent to servers in the United States. Under GDPR and the rulings of European data protection authorities, this is a massive risk. US intelligence laws allow access to this data, which contradicts EU privacy standards. \n\nYou are responsible for where your users' data goes. If it crosses the Atlantic, you are exposed. \n\n### The cookie banner fatigue\n\nGoogle Analytics requires a cookie consent banner. These banners hurt your conversion rates. They annoy your visitors. They create a wall between you and your customers. Umami changes the game by using zero cookies. It does not track individuals across the web. It only tracks what happens on your site.\n\n### Data sovereignty is the only fix\n\nMost privacy-focused SaaS tools still use a shared cloud. You do not truly control the server. By hosting Umami on your own managed instance with Opsily, you decide exactly where the data lives. We recommend our Frankfurt or Helsinki regions for strict GDPR adherence. Your data never leaves the EU. No US government access. No legal gray areas.
