Less data, the same insights
TWIPLA’s default Maximum Privacy Mode keeps what you collect to a minimum, wherever your visitors are:
- Visitors are counted with a one-way hash, the only identifier stored
- Reports show trends across your audience, never one person’s page history
- All data is hosted in Germany, under a Data Processing Agreement that lists every subprocessor
- An optional opt-out link lets visitors switch off TWIPLA tracking entirely
Every privacy law sets its own rules. Custom Country Data lets you choose the privacy mode for visitors from each country, so you can match it to the law that applies there.
