According to a report by the Hunton Privacy blog, the German Data Protection Authority (the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information) still believes using Google Analytics, or in fact any other technology that somehow exports users IP addresses to the US, is not compliant with their regulations and are therefore in breach of their Data Protection act. They warn if Google doesn’t get it’s act together it will start going after companies in Germany using the Google Analytics suite.
