Cookieless, privacy-first analytics from an Ottawa company, with your data stored on Canadian infrastructure. The clear numbers you need — without sending your visitors' behavior to an ad platform.
Most Canadian websites send their analytics to US platforms by default. That's rarely illegal, but it's increasingly hard to explain — to a privacy officer, a procurement team, a client, or a visitor who asks where their data goes.
Ometra gives you a simpler answer. It's built and run by a Canadian company, your analytics data is hosted in Canada, and it collects so little about individual visitors that there's usually nothing to consent to in the first place.
Analytics data is stored with DigitalOcean in its Canadian region. It's never sold or shared with ad networks.
Ometra is built and operated by Ometra Analytics Inc. in Ottawa, Ontario — so the answer to “who has our data?” is a Canadian company under Canadian law.
No cookies, no stored IP addresses, no persistent identifiers. Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating hash that can't be reversed or linked across days.
A Data Processing Agreement with a published sub-processor list, Canadian hosting, and no consent banner in most cases make security and privacy reviews shorter.
PIPEDAdoesn't require you to keep data in Canada. What it does require is accountability: when you hand personal information to a service provider, you remain responsible for it, wherever it's processed, and you should be open with people about that.
Public bodies often face stricter rules — some provincial laws restrict storing personal information outside Canada, and many procurement processes ask for Canadian hosting outright.
The simplest position under both is to collect as little personal information as possible and keep what you do have close to home. That's how Ometra is built. (This is general information, not legal advice.)
Comparing options? See how Ometra stacks up against Google Analytics and fellow Canadian Fathom Analytics.
Yes. Ometra is a Canadian, privacy-first Google Analytics alternative: cookieless analytics, heatmaps, goals, and AI insights, built in Ottawa and hosted in Canada. Fathom Analytics is another Canadian-built option.
No. PIPEDA doesn't require Canadian data residency. It does keep you accountable for personal information you transfer to a service provider, wherever it's processed, and expects you to be open about that. Keeping analytics in Canada — and collecting as little personal information as possible — makes that simpler to explain and defend.
Ometra is designed to support PIPEDA compliance: it collects no cookies, stores no IP addresses, keeps no persistent identifiers, and hosts analytics data in Canada. Compliance depends on how your whole site handles personal information, so confirm with your own privacy advisor.
Analytics data is stored with DigitalOcean in its Canadian region. A few supporting services run elsewhere — Stripe for billing and Resend for email in the US, and optional features like page screenshots and AI summaries (aggregate data only). They're all listed in our DPA.
Canada has no cookie-specific law like the EU's ePrivacy rules; PIPEDA requires meaningful consent when you collect personal information. Because Ometra uses no cookies and is designed not to collect personal information about visitors, most sites don't need a banner for it — but other tools on your site might.
Yes. Ometra works anywhere. For EU and UK customers, Canada's PIPEDA is recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for commercial data, and a DPA is available.
