Frequently Asked Questions

Who must follow GDPR requirements in government?

All government entities, public institutions, and contractors that process EU citizen data must comply with the GDPR. This includes municipalities, national agencies, public healthcare systems, educational institutions, and any third-party vendors handling citizen data for government organizations.

What constitutes personal data under GDPR for government websites?

Personal data includes names, addresses, national ID numbers, IP addresses, cookie identifiers, and behavioral data collected through government websites. Even anonymized data can be considered personal if it can be traced back to individuals through additional information.

Why is GDPR compliance crucial for government digital services?

GDPR compliance builds essential public trust in government digital services, prevents costly violations that damage public confidence, and ensures citizens feel secure accessing online government information. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and serious reputational damage to public institutions.

What’s included in the analytics and data activation platform?

Four integrated modules designed for government use: web analytics for citizen journey tracking, consent management for transparent data collection, tag management for secure third-party integrations, and data activation for information service optimization – all focused on public sector requirements.

Can we use our own data processing agreement (DPA)?

Yes, we accommodate custom DPAs and contract terms specific to government procurement requirements. Our European foundation and public-sector experience enable us to adapt to diverse national and local legal frameworks while maintaining compliance standards.

How do you ensure data sovereignty for government clients?

As a European company with no US capital connections, we offer complete data sovereignty through EU-based hosting. Government clients maintain 100% data ownership with no data sharing to third parties, ensuring independence from foreign commercial platforms.

What user management capabilities support large government organizations?

Advanced user management includes multiple permission levels for enhanced security, role-based access controls, custom reports and dashboards for different departments, and clean application environments that separate test data from production analytics.

How do you protect citizen data?

Industry-standard encryption, secure EU-based hosting, comprehensive audit logging, advanced user permission controls, and automated data retention policies. All systems comply with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II standards with additional government-specific security measures.

How does Piwik PRO compare to US-based analytics providers?

As a European company with no US capital connections, we offer complete data sovereignty and regulatory alignment that US providers cannot guarantee. We provide government-specific compliance features, custom DPA options, and complete independence from commercial advertising platforms.

Can the platform handle large-scale government deployments?

Yes, our infrastructure supports enterprise-scale deployments across complex government organizations. We successfully served numerous websites that handled several million daily visits during crises such as the COVID-19 outbreak.
