Fathom's script forgets everybody by default, it's literally built into the tech. No EU personal data is touching Canada. The background of Schrems II was that the US government can compel US companies to track foreign nationals a

1. I understand the piece about "stamp" of adequacy. But when the Schrems II ruling happened, the world learned that we cannot always rely on "stamps" and need to look into the laws. At this moment in time, the European

I was linked to this post by a friend regarding the comments you made about Fathom's GDPR compliance. 1. The GDPR is regulation from the European Union 2. PIPEDA has an Exemption order for BC (British Columbia, Canada) and applies &quo

No access logs are kept, users aren't profiled or tracked across multiple sites. Ad-blockers blocking privacy-first solutions encourage use of Google Analytics. Being able to bypass ad-blockers is a competitive advantage over GA, which

Lmao. Hey, if I wasn't running Fathom, Dev Rel @ SingleStore is the only role I'd consider in tech right now. And I would definitely try to get some of those sweet shares as part of compensation. Alas, I don't own any SingleS

I completely agree! For the people following back home, who don’t want to move away from MySQL, can you let us know how to achieve a <10ms GROUP BY aggregation with a high cardinality column (11 million distinct values for “pathname”). T

By migrating to SingleStore, we didn’t have to change any persistence logic (we were already using SQL and Laravel Eloquent). Having explored doing that for Elasticsearch, it wasn’t something we wanted to do. Looking back, I’m glad we went

Clickhouse isn’t really relevant for a lot of us. SingleStore outperforms clickhouse and the latter isn’t MySQL wire compatible. Far more features come with SingleStore too. And if you speak to people running Clickhouse, they’re also mainta

Definitely not. No regrets after making the move. March next year will be the two year mark.

Very well written for newcomers. But I also appreciated the clarification in the auth section. I’ve used Laravel for years and the auth had confused me. Bootcamp makes things clearer.

Agreed. The next step here is to learn from what other people have written.

People are freaking out about this: https://twitter.com/usefathom/status/1481622895616950273 News like this takes time, and requires education, and we expect to see additional rulings that solidify EU DPA's c

Yup. The Illegal Analytics Scanner is deployed to Germany. We then load the website, observe the pixels loaded, run the IP returned through an IP lookup, and see who controls the server. If it's a US cloud provider, it's not lawfu

The Schrems II ruling occurred back in 2020. Max Schrems & noyb have filed 101 complaints, and we're now going to see DPAs make decisions (meaning the ruling is enforced). What's new now is that a DPA has actually made a decis

That if they're processing EU website visitor traffic, they're in violation of the Schrems II ruling, and violating the GDPR. Very messy situation right now.

We utilized some things we had already built, and it took less than a day to put this together.

Fathom is located in Canada, a country that has an adequacy decision under the GDPR :)

Correct. That's absolutely right. I'm not 100% sure how my comment wasn't clear, but I will apologize to everyone if I confused them. Anyway, Plausible updated their analytics to use Bunny yesterday, which is a win for their

Yup, just to be clear, I wasn’t talking about site data, I was talking about the processing of Personal Data (IP & User Agent). You were using Netlify previously, which is a US provider and backed by AWS, and then Cloudflare for the tes

Just posted this thread to a friend and they said I wasn't being 100% clear, so I apologize. I'll clear things up. Using EU servers that are owned by a US company (e.g. AWS deployed in the EU, DigitalOcean deployed in the EU) is a

Yes they do. It's not just about data being stored, it's data processing as a whole. You cannot casually pass EU data subject Personal Data to US-controlled infrastructure. CDN is processing of Personal Data in the clear. Please r
