Developed by Emvi Software GmbH (founded 2019 in Germany), Pirsch Analytics delivers web analytics with a focus on privacy. It was created by founders Marvin Blum and Daniel Schramm from an open-source analytics library they built for their own websites. Pirsch’s core software is open-source, and the hosted SaaS offering does not use tracking cookies or sell customer data. Pirsch is hosted in Germany and complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations, making it a simple, plug-and-play analytics alternative for companies that want real-time metrics without data-sharing.
