VERIFIED

Founded 2017 · wideangle.co ↗

Berlin-based privacy-first web analytics on a European (OVHcloud Open Trusted Cloud) stack with strict GDPR posture.

In short

Wide Angle Analytics, in the Web analytics category, is a European service with France as its hosting location and at most minor, transient US exposure under the CLOUD Act.

Assessment notes

Berlin-based GmbH (Input Objects) running customer analytics entirely on a European cloud (listed in the OVHcloud Open Trusted Cloud catalogue, which strongly implies OVH-hosted EU-only infrastructure) with German privacy standards and a homepage footer link labelled "Data Processing Agreement"; EU-owned and EU-hosted with no US-owned cloud on the customer-data path, but the DPA is not self-servable (the /policy/dpa page carries no live document and contacting support is required to obtain one).

OVERVIEW

About Wide Angle Analytics

Wide Angle Analytics is a Berlin-based privacy-first web analytics product operated by Input Objects GmbH and trading under the registered EU trademark "WIDE ANGLE ANALYTICS" (application number 018569000). The company markets itself unambiguously as "Web Analytics made and hosted in the European Union," with all data stored on a European cloud and German privacy standards applied throughout. The product is referenced in OVHcloud's Open Trusted Cloud catalogue, which is a strong signal that the underlying infrastructure runs on OVH (the French sovereign-cloud provider) although the vendor's own pages do not name the provider explicitly at audit time.

Compliance positioning is rigorous: automatic IP anonymisation, no third-party data sharing, no use of US-owned hyperscalers for customer analytics data at rest, and a GDPR-by-default product configuration. The footer of wideangle.co links explicitly to Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Cookie Policy, Security Policy, Data Processing Agreement (DPA), and an Imprint, but most of those URLs did not resolve at audit time on the paths we tested (/privacy, /dpa, /security, /imprint, /privacy-policy, /legal/imprint all 404). The DPA exists per the footer label (which we trust as a vendor attestation) but a procurement-grade buyer should request the live path before signing.

Pricing is multi-currency and EU-aware: $15/€10/£10 per month for the Starter plan covering 10 websites, 50K events/month, single user, and 12 months of data retention; a 14-day free trial is offered (no permanent free tier). Best fit: small and mid-market German-speaking and EU-wide buyers who want a Plausible-style alternative on French sovereign cloud and don't mind that the DPA needs to be requested rather than self-served at the listed URLs. Buyers who need a unified, downloadable DPA + sub-processors annex out of the box should prefer Plausible or Pirsch in the same category.
