Spain· Web Analytics
Needs review
Shortlist when you want Spanish/EU-legal SaaS web analytics with cookie-free daily uniques, city geo, AI referral views, and a public DPA—without self-hosting. Skip when you need open source, on-prem, multi-day retention/cohorts, or certified ISO/SOC evidence; consider Plausible Analytics or Matomo instead.
France· Web Analytics
Needs review
Shortlist when you want full Matomo on a dedicated French-operated bare-metal instance with one-click updates and hourly billing—especially if you prefer unlimited site/seat product framing over hit-metered multi-tenant SaaS. Skip when you need EU-only with no US region option, root/SSH access, or a minimal cookieless counter—consider self-hosted Matomo, Friendly Analytics, or Plausible instead.

Cookie-free uniques with daily rotating salt
Counts daily unique visitors by hashing IP + User-Agent + domain with a salt that is destroyed every 24 hours. No cookies, localStorage, or device-persistent IDs; raw IP and full UA are not stored. Trade-off: no multi-day retention or new-vs-returning series.
City-level geo without retained IPs
Derives continent, country, region, and city for maps and rankings from the request IP, then discards the IP. Useful for market mix reporting when you do not need ISP- or coordinate-level precision.
AI referral and channel acquisition views
Breaks down how visitors arrive—search, referring sites, and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude—so content teams can see discovery outside classic SEO referrers.
Real-time dashboard, events, export, and API
Live visitor activity, page performance, device/browser/OS stats, custom events and campaigns, weekly email reports, data export, and API access on published plans. Integrations include a WordPress plugin and Google Tag Manager snippet placement.
Public B2B DPA with processor role
A published Data Processing Agreement (effective August 2022) treats Analyzati as processor and the customer as controller for visitor measurement. Acceptance is tied to product use under the Terms of Service rather than a bespoke countersignature workflow.
Dedicated bare-metal Matomo instance
Each customer gets an isolated VM on Stackhero’s own bare-metal cloud (Stackhero DC OS), not shared multi-tenant Matomo. Local disks and included Redis are positioned for high IOPS and heavy traffic—fit teams that outgrow noisy-neighbor shared analytics clouds.
Unlimited sites, members, segments, and goals until capacity
Stackhero does not meter websites, team seats, segments, or goals as product SKUs; you scale by instance size (published up to 16 vCPUs / 64 GB RAM). Retention is limited by disk, not a fixed product TTL—plan storage for long history.
One-click Matomo updates and managed ops (no SSH)
Stackhero delivers Matomo updates for dashboard application; firewall IP rules are customer-configurable. SSH is intentionally unavailable on the managed service—good for reduced surface area, poor fit if you need custom OS packages.
Custom domain, GeoIP2, and dedicated notification email
Point matomo.yourdomain.com with TLS 1.3/ECDSA, ship visitor location via bundled GeoIP2, and send unlimited Matomo reports/alerts through a per-instance email path—reduces glue work after first deploy.
Atomic encrypted daily backups (EU vault)
24-hour atomic image backups (plus event-driven backups on upgrades) are validated, then encrypted (OpenPGP ECDH/Curve25519) and retained up to three months. Vendor FAQ states backups are stored in the EU even when regions differ—confirm dual-region implications for US instances.
Hourly billing with EU or US region choice
Spin services up/down with hourly charging and a single monthly invoice; free trial without payment method. Choose European (France) or USA placement at create time—region is a first-class control for residency, not a hidden default.
| Assurance & compliance | Analyzati | Matomo by Stackhero |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Not found No public third-party audit PDF or no-logs attestation found on official pages reviewed. | Not found ISO 27001 and bug-bounty openness claimed; no public independent no-logs audit report specific to analytics found. |
| ISO 27001 | Not found No ISO 27001 certificate claim located on homepage, privacy, or DPA pages. | Vendor claimed Vendor publishes ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate #254338 from the British Assessment Bureau (PDF). Not re-verified against the issuer’s public register in this draft. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found No SOC 2/3 report claim found on public trust materials. | Not found No SOC 2/3 claim found on certifications/privacy/GDPR pages reviewed. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed EU entity (Barcelona); public GDPR/PECR/CCPA compliance pages; anonymisation design documented; controller/processor roles in DPA. | Vendor claimed French entity; public GDPR & DPA page; customer controller / Stackhero processor model; EU region option for service data. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial Spanish/EU vendor with no known US parent, but application hosting on AWS (Paris) and US-group subprocessors (Stripe, Freshworks, AWS email, hCaptcha). Residency ≠ ownership. Not legal advice. | Partial French entity, no known US parent, non-hyperscaler bare-metal hosting claimed. Medium/partial because USA is a first-class hosting region; EU-only only when the customer creates the service in Europe. Backups stated as EU-stored. Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Vendor claimed Public DPA effective 18 Aug 2022; vendor says acceptance is automatic via product use / ToS—no separate signature required. | Vendor claimed DPA applies automatically with Terms of service; PDF downloadable from the GDPR & DPA page. |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Product reports AI *referral traffic*; it is not marketed as a high-risk AI system provider. | Not applicable Web analytics hosting; not positioned as an AI system product. |
| Considerations & known limitations | Analyzati | Matomo by Stackhero |
|---|---|---|
| AWS and US-group subprocessors | Medium Measurement app is on AWS Paris; account path also uses Stripe, Freshworks, AWS email, and hCaptcha. EU regions reduce some transfer friction but do not erase US-group provider diligence for many public-sector and bank questionnaires. | Not listed |
| No public ISO/SOC or independent audit | Medium Security claims rely on vendor documentation (HTTPS, hashing, firewalls, backups). Organisations with mandatory cert evidence will need vendor outreach or a different shortlist. | Not listed |
| No multi-day visitor identity | Low Daily salt rotation blocks persistent uniques. Expect gaps vs Google Analytics for returning users, frequency, and retention—by design. | Not listed |
| SaaS lock-in / no self-host | Low No self-host edition found. Exit requires export/API migration to another tool; confirm export completeness in a trial. | Not listed |
| Exact registry name not on marketing pages | Low Vendor states Barcelona incorporation but public pages reviewed did not display a full Spanish company registration string—collect CIF/NIF and full legal name during contracting. | Not listed |
| Optional US hosting region | Not listed | Medium Platform offers USA placement alongside France/EU. Mis-selected region or unclear contract language can put visitor analytics outside the EU. Procurements that require EU-only must pin region at create time and in the order form. |
| EU backups when primary is US | Not listed | Medium FAQ states backups are stored in the EU. If an instance runs in the USA, confirm whether visitor data is dual-homed (US primary + EU backup) and how that affects DPIA and transfer tools. |
| No SSH / managed-only host | Not listed | Low Cannot install arbitrary system software or agents; support hours stated as CET office hours for basic platform support—not full Matomo application consulting. |
| Limited named subprocessor list | Not listed | Medium Privacy policy mentions third-party tools and a payment processor without a detailed public subprocessor register. Request the annex in diligence if procurement requires named processors. |
| ISO certificate vendor-published | Not listed | Low ISO 27001:2022 is claimed with a public PDF and BAB certificate number; validate scope, sites, and validity dates with the certification body before treating it as verified. |
| Matomo privacy configuration is yours | Not listed | Low Hosting in the EU does not auto-configure consent, IP anonymization, or cookieless modes. Controllers remain responsible for Matomo GDPR tooling and site policy. |
