PIPEDA · Canada
PIPEDA-friendly analytics for WordPress
Privacy-protective defaults for Canadian websites: cookieless tracking, data on your own server and settings you control.
- Cookieless by default
- Data stays on your server
- IP anonymisation
- Global Privacy Control
In brief
What PIPEDA means for your analytics
PIPEDA (the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) is Canada’s federal privacy law for businesses, overseen by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia have their own private-sector laws.
It’s built on fair information principles, including meaningful consent and limiting what you collect and how long you keep it. Quebec’s Law 25 also expects privacy-protective settings by default.
Built in
Privacy settings you control
Every privacy setting is included in every plan. Turn on what fits your site.
Privacy-protective defaults
Cookieless out of the box. Cookie mode is optional and waits for your visitor’s consent.
IP anonymisation
Keep full IP addresses or anonymised ones. You choose.
Automatic data deletion
Choose how long data is kept and older data is deleted for you. We recommend 90 days.
Your data stays on your server
Every visit is stored in your own WordPress database. Visitor data never reaches us or anyone else.
Country lookup on your server
Location is worked out on your own server. Visitors’ IP addresses are never sent to an outside service.
Delete on request
When a visitor asks for their data to be deleted, you can delete their analytics data.
How it works
Where your data goes
Analytics data makes one short trip: from your visitor’s browser to your own WordPress site.
- Step 1Visitor’s browserA tracker of 5 KB or less loads in the background. No cookies by default.
- Step 2Your WordPress siteRecords the visit. Country lookup and IP anonymisation happen here, on your server.
- Step 3Your databaseStored in Analyzine’s own tables and deleted automatically after the period you set.
What reaches Solvix Studio: only your license key and a signature to verify it. Never your visitors’ data.

Questions
Does PIPEDA require consent for website analytics?
PIPEDA requires meaningful consent, and the form it takes depends on how sensitive the information is and what people would reasonably expect. The Privacy Commissioner’s guidance, or your legal advisor, can tell you what applies.
What about Quebec’s Law 25?
Law 25 expects privacy-protective settings by default. Analyzine’s defaults (cookieless tracking, with cookie mode only after consent) are a good starting point.
Can Solvix Studio see my visitors’ data?
No. Your analytics data stays in your WordPress database. We never receive it.
