Italian regulator adds voice opposing Google Analytics transfers from EU

Garante, the Italian data authority, found web publisher Caffeina Media Srl in violation of GDPR because its Google Analytics use resulted in the capture of EU personal data. This included device IP addresses, browser information, and visit dates and times – data which was subsequently transferred to the US. The Italian DPA also warned other local sites to check their own compliance. This follows a similar CNIL decision in France.

Some investors are still spending money: India-based CRM LeadSquared announced a $153 million Series C, bringing total funding to $188 million. In an unusually revealing report, the company says it had about $25 million revenue last year and 1,200 employees, yielding $22,000 revenue per employee. That’s less than one-tenth of HubSpot or Salesforce. Not good or bad, but interesting.
