Questions about Fathom Analytics
Is Fathom Analytics GDPR compliant?
Yes. On the evidence we checked, Fathom Analytics meets the requirements European businesses usually need. Fathom Analytics is based in Canada, outside the EU/EEA, data is hosted across multiple regions globally, and a Data Processing Agreement is published. Every claim on this page links to the vendor's own documentation.
Where does Fathom Analytics store data?
Fathom Analytics hosts data across multiple regions globally. An EU region is available.
Does Fathom Analytics offer a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?
Yes. Fathom Analytics publishes a DPA at https://usefathom.com/legal/dpa. A DPA is required under Article 28 GDPR whenever a provider processes personal data on your behalf.
What a DPA has to cover →Is Fathom Analytics a European company?
No. Fathom Analytics is based in Canada, outside the EU/EEA. It may still be a sound choice (EU hosting and a signed DPA matter more than a flag) but the ownership is not European.
Which jurisdiction's laws apply to Fathom Analytics?
Fathom Analytics is based in Canada, outside the EU/EEA, so a non-EU disclosure regime may apply alongside GDPR. Transfers to the vendor rely on an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Where the EU-US Data Privacy Framework stands →Spotted something wrong?
Martech moves fast. Vendors change hosting regions, get acquired, publish a new DPA or rewrite their pricing, and they rarely announce it. We check what we publish and date every compliance review, but some of what you see here will be out of date before we catch it.
