Analytics for
Regulated Industries
Data minimization architecture for apps handling sensitive information. Only 5 fields stored. No device IDs. IP never retained in analytics.
π‘ Why Data Minimization Matters
Apps in regulated industries face unique challenges with standard analytics tools:
Device identifiers combined with health, financial, or educational activity create sensitive profiles
Tools that accept arbitrary data fields create risk of accidental sensitive data leakage
The more data you collect, the more you need to document, secure, and potentially disclose
Our approach: Return of Avoidance (ROA) β the best way to protect sensitive data is to never collect it. We store exactly 5 fields: event_name, session_id, timestamp, platform, and country. That's it.
