- 2 Allowing full URL capture including path segments and query parameters containing personal data
- 3 Not reviewing error messages and stack traces for inadvertent personal data exposure
Compliance Considerations
Collects performance timing data, JavaScript errors, and AJAX request details. Error messages and stack traces may contain personal data. EU data residency available (New Relic EU region). For basic performance monitoring, a legitimate interest basis may be appropriate. Configure data masking for sensitive URL parameters and error messages.

Pingdom
High Pingdom
Pingdom is a website performance monitoring service owned by SolarWinds that provides uptime monitoring, page speed analysis, and real user monitoring (RUM). The Pingdom RUM JavaScript snippet collects performance metrics from actual visitor browsers, including page load times, resource timing, and geographic performance distribution. While synthetic monitoring (external probes) does not involve personal data, the RUM component executes in the user's browser and collects data that may be linked to individual visitors. Pingdom is commonly deployed on enterprise websites, e-commerce platforms, and public sector digital services where uptime and performance are business-critical.
