What is Govanalytics, and how is it different?
Govanalytics is a GDPR-compliant web analytics platform for Dutch government organisations. Unlike Google Analytics, no personal data is processed, no cookie banner is required, and all data is stored in the Netherlands. The built-in AI interface lets you query your own analytics data directly, without involving an analyst.
We're not a government body. Is it still for us?
Govanalytics is primarily designed for government organisations, but housing associations, healthcare providers, educational institutions and other organisations operating under strict privacy legislation also use the platform. If your organisation has a Data Protection Officer or faces GDPR compliance requirements, Govanalytics is a logical choice. Get in touch to discuss whether it fits your situation.
Who owns our data, also after the contract ends?
You always and at all times remain the owner of your own data. After the contract ends you receive a full data export in a standard format. Govanalytics has no claim on your data, does not share it with third parties and never sells it.
Where is our data stored, and who can access it?
All data is stored on servers in the Netherlands, at UpCloud in Amsterdam — an ISO 27001-certified hosting partner. Storage falls entirely under Dutch and European law. No data is transferred to the United States or other third countries. Only you and users you have authorised have access to your data.
What about the cookie law?
For a commercial company, Google Analytics 4 is risky but manageable. You can weigh the legal exposure, put up a cookie banner, and carry on.
For public organisations, that logic does not hold. Government websites are not optional: citizens cannot choose not to visit the municipal website when they need a permit. That makes the legal basis for data processing harder to justify, including under the current enforcement practice of the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
Every public organisation also has a Data Protection Officer who will ask for a DPIA during an audit. Writing a watertight DPIA for Google Analytics 4 is close to impossible: the data flows are partly on Google's servers and therefore difficult to describe exhaustively.
Cookie MeasurementHow do we stay GDPR-compliant, even after a misconfiguration?
Govanalytics is cookieless by design: even with a misconfiguration, no personal data is processed. No opt-in is required and no cookie banner is needed for your analytics. Privacy is the default, not the exception. This also makes the platform straightforward to justify to your Data Protection Officer or in a review by the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
