Only if you use personal data as defined by GDPR which includes the transmission, processing, and storing of IP addresses or their hashed equivalents. A salted hash cannot be attributed to an individual user. The EU position regards the IPV6 range as sufficiently small to attribute a hash back to an IP with enough motivation and resources.
Pathview strictly uses the salted hash to count unique visits. It's as minimally invasive as possible.
- freemint 4y agoI think salted is not enough but peppered per domain and salted sounds good. That way you can not learn what IP visited different websites you track. So hash(IP+domain_bucket_specified_by_user+SALT)
- shanebellone 4y agoFantstic idea! I'll immediately implement this.
- freemint 4y agoCustomized buckets (to aggregate users between multiple (sub-)domains) could be a premium feature if you ever go the freemium route.
- shanebellone 4y agoI've implemented this solution. Great idea. Thanks again for your feedback.
