Wide Angle Analytics
A single roll-up of ownership and CLOUD Act exposure.
-
EU-Sovereign This listing EU/EEA/Switzerland-owned and -operated, with no identified CLOUD Act exposure.
-
EU-Based EU-operated, with at most minor or transient US exposure.
-
EU-Hosted EU hosting available, but a US parent or hyperscaler sub-processor creates material exposure.
-
US-Linked Operated by a US-incorporated entity, directly subject to US jurisdiction.
Berlin-based privacy-first web analytics on a European (OVHcloud Open Trusted Cloud) stack with strict GDPR posture.
Wide Angle Analytics is an EU-owned service hosted in France, with no identified CLOUD Act exposure. It is listed under Web analytics.
Assessment notes
Berlin-based GmbH (Input Objects) running customer analytics on OVH Public Cloud, named directly by the vendor on its own security page, with German privacy standards and a published privacy policy that names every processor: OVHcloud (FR), Paddle (payments), Brevo (FR) and Infomaniak (CH). EU-owned, EU-hosted, and not a single US-owned entity anywhere in the disclosed chain, so CLOUD Act exposure is none; the score is held at 3 solely because the DPA is not self-servable — the /policy/dpa page states that a GDPR-compliant DPA is available but requires contacting support to obtain it.

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, and the vendor now names the provider itself: its security page cites "OVH Public Cloud" outright and its privacy policy lists OVHcloud (France) for hosting and backend infrastructure.
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 to a Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Cookie Policy, Security Policy, Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and an Imprint, and all of them resolve: the privacy, terms and cookie records sit on iubenda, the security page at /policy/security and the imprint at inputobjects.eu/imprint. The privacy policy names every processor in the chain, OVHcloud (FR) for hosting and backend, Paddle for payments, Brevo (FR) for transactional email and Infomaniak (CH) for contact management, with no US-owned entity among them. The DPA is the remaining gap: the /policy/dpa page is live but carries no document, stating that a GDPR-compliant DPA is available and directing buyers to contact support, so a procurement-grade buyer still has to request the artefact 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. Buyers who need a unified, downloadable DPA + sub-processors annex out of the box should prefer Plausible or Pirsch in the same category.
