What is Piano Analytics?
European analytics leader with maximum GDPR safety (CNIL exemption). Strong for publishers and media. We integrate it cleanly into your data architecture and draw a clear boundary to the alternatives.
When it fits, and when it doesn't
A fit when:
- maximum legal certainty (CNIL) matters
- a publisher or media use case applies
- deep analysis is needed
Less so when:
- a lean setup is enough
- the team can't carry a learning curve
- the event model is too rigid
What Datascale builds with Piano Analytics
We decide the architecture, then build:
- setup with a CNIL-compliant configuration
- event model and tracking plan
- reports for publisher and media KPIs
- connection to the warehouse
- team training
The full picture lives in the matching service. We integrate and implement Piano Analytics where it's the best fit for your case, not as an end in itself. Related: Audit Sprint.

Piano Analytics is a European enterprise analytics platform with maximum GDPR safety thanks to a CNIL exemption. It is especially strong for publishers and media.
Why a CNIL exemption?
The French data protection authority CNIL assessed Piano (formerly AT Internet) as classifiable as consent-free. With a correct configuration, that significantly lowers the banner burden.
Who is Piano worth it for?
Mainly publishers, media, and enterprises with the highest compliance demands. For smaller setups the learning curve is often too steep.
