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.
