Well.. I don't know if central piwiki system for
external wikis is
legal in all jurisdicitons, especially in EU as it means transfering
personal data to third party abroad. At least - pages using such
external piwiki instalation should warn their user that their IP, date
of access to webesite and browers user-strng is about to be recorded
by third party... It also apply to the website which decided to use
google analytics or any other such a system not installed on local
server.
The piwik server is hosted inside EU and payed by an european chapter.
Your local legislation may vary, but in my humble non-lawyer opinion,
transfering to another EU country is fine. I expect that all local laws
came from the same european law being “roughly” equivalent, in Spain the
relevant law (LO 15/1999) says:
33.1 No transfer of personal data may be performed with destination to
countries not providing a protection level equivalent to the one
provided by this law unless (...)
34 Exceptions:
(...)
k) When the destination of the transfer is a state member of the EU or a
state about which the Commission of the European Communities has stated
that guarantees an appropiate protection level.
