Clicky: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Clicky is a web analytics service that tracks visitors, page views and JavaScript events in real time. It adds bot filtering, heatmaps, segmentation, uptime alerts and a reverse-proxy option that routes tracking through the customer's own domain. The company presents it as a privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative that, according to the vendor, uses no tracking cookies. The website offers user registration and login but does not state whether the service is hosted by the vendor or installed on the customer's own servers.

Clicky is a product of Roxr Software, Ltd, which the vendor's help page describes as a company based in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2006. The terms of service are governed by Oregon law and refer to a data processing agreement, but the public pages do not state where data is stored or name a hosting region. For a European organisation, the US seat means that the vendor is subject to US jurisdiction. The data processing agreement, the storage location and the no-cookie claim should therefore be verified before use.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Clicky

Clicky is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Clicky hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Clicky is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Clicky together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
