With data privacy becoming an increasingly crucial aspect of business operations, Piwik PRO’s recent announcement of their Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) compliant analytics suite is set to make a significant impact on the Canadian market.
Privacy concerns have become mainstream, with more countries introducing stringent data privacy laws. Consumers are now more aware and concerned about how their data is used, influencing their purchasing decisions. This trend leaves no room for workarounds; organizations must prioritize privacy, especially in marketing activities where a significant amount of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is processed. Navigating multiple legal regimes, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PIPEDA, can be challenging. Piwik PRO’s solution addresses these challenges, enabling organizations to run digital marketing activities compliantly.
Piwik PRO’s PIPEDA-compliant analytics suite introduces several features designed to meet stringent data privacy regulations while delivering robust analytics capabilities. One standout feature is full data ownership, allowing organizations complete control over their data and ensuring no sharing with third parties or using it to train AI models. This addresses a significant concern in today’s data-driven landscape, where data ownership is crucial. Another critical feature is the built-in consent manager, which streamlines the collection of user consent and integrates seamlessly with the tag manager to ensure compliant tracking, a necessity under privacy laws like PIPEDA, GDPR, and CPPA.
The suite offers multi-market compliance, making it adaptable to various privacy regimes worldwide, which is essential for Canadian businesses operating globally. Furthermore, the suite provides robust analytics and activation capabilities, enabling businesses to optimize their digital presence, marketing strategies, and customer journeys while ensuring privacy. This combination of features supports compliance and enhances business performance, offering a comprehensive solution for modern digital marketing needs.
Benefits for Canadian Businesses
Canadian businesses leveraging Piwik PRO’s PIPEDA-compliant analytics suite can anticipate significant advantages, especially in compliance and data security. The suite ensures adherence to Canada’s stringent data privacy regulations while providing robust protection against data breaches, a critical concern for businesses today. For instance, studies show that data breaches can cost companies an average of $4.45 million globally in 2023. By using a compliant solution like Piwik PRO, businesses can mitigate these risks and avoid hefty fines associated with non-compliance. The suite’s comprehensive data control and privacy features align with the increasing global focus on data protection, helping companies maintain trust with their customers.
DKMS, a global non-profit fighting blood cancer, uses digital marketing to recruit donors. After relaunching their websites in 2021, they needed a GDPR-compliant analytics solution and chose Piwik PRO for its comprehensive features and 24/7 support. This led to a 3% increase in donor registration conversions on their US site, showcasing how privacy-compliant analytics optimize processes without compromising data integrity.
Similarly, Bank Ochrony Środowiska (BOŚ) in Poland needed a flexible, GDPR-compliant analytics solution for business decisions and marketing strategies.

Other companies can achieve similar results by selecting analytics solutions that prioritize data privacy, offer comprehensive features, and provide strong support to navigate compliance effectively.
