Compliance FAQs

The Schrems II ruling in 2020 was a milestone in EU policy regarding consumer data rights.

The EU took the position that Businesses cannot offload responsibility for data compliance onto their technology provider, and instead retain GDPR liability should EU data go outside the EU.

In February 2022, both Austria and France have ruled that Google Analytics is illegal from a GDPR view, as it cannot prevent data passing to the US, and the US security services have provably accessed Google data.

It is expected that all EU member states will fall in line with this position over the coming months.

While the ruling doesn’t mean that using Google Analytics is illegal, it is strongly recommended that marketers and businesses re-evaluate their current use of GA.
With Universal Analytics being replaced by GA4 for all users next year, it’s a perfect time to re-evaluate your current analytics set up and move away from cookie-based methods.

As it stands, liability exists for any Google Analytics or Adobe users who collect data from anywhere in the EU.
For example, if your company is based in the US but you receive traffic from Germany, you are still liable for breach of data compliance.

In short, if either of the following are the case for you, then it is likely that you are in breach of Schrems ii and should consult your legal team:
• Your website analytics provider is a US company
• Your website analytics provider uses web servers owned by a US cloud provider
However, the next section of our eBook covers some more steps to take you ensure you have fully compliant analytics.
