At least in Poland - according to local law - in order to legally
transfer personal data to other EU country (and also to any third
party in Poland) we should:
1. Have a formal document of registration personal database in the
relevant office of protection of personal data from the owner of
piwiki instalation and be ready to show it our Inspector General for
the Protection of Personal Data if demanded
2. Have a policy of privacy published and got the agreement of any
person we want to use their data (ie. pop-up window or flash banner
asking for agreement)
Bear in mind also, that vast majority of people will visit our page
attracted by centralnotice banner from Wikimedia projects, so we
should also follow WMF privacy regulations...
Of course you can take a risk - and do it illegaly...

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.
