Overview
Baremetrics connects to billing providers — Stripe, Braintree, Recurly, App Store, and others — via API to calculate and surface subscription metrics including monthly recurring revenue, churn rate, average revenue per user, and lifetime value. It is primarily a dashboard used internally by SaaS finance and growth teams. A subset of customers use its Open Startups feature to embed a public-facing metrics page on their website, transparently sharing real-time revenue data.
What This Script Does
For the majority of implementations, Baremetrics is a SaaS application with no browser-side footprint on third-party websites. When the Open Startups embed is used, the following occurs:
- A script or iframe loaded from
baremetrics.comrenders the public metrics dashboard on the host page - The embed loads within the visitor's browser, transmitting the visitor's IP address and browser metadata to Baremetrics servers
- Baremetrics' own analytics tooling (the platform uses third-party analytics internally) may fire when the embed initializes
- No advertising cookies are set by Baremetrics itself, but the embed constitutes a third-party server connection
For companies using Baremetrics internally only — with no Open Startups embed — there is no browser-side presence on their public website.
Consent & Compliance
- Consent Category: Analytics
- GDPR/ePrivacy: If the Baremetrics Open Startups embed is present on your website, it constitutes loading third-party resources that log visitor IP addresses and browser metadata at Baremetrics' servers. Under GDPR, this constitutes personal data processing requiring a lawful basis. Under ePrivacy, any cookies the embed sets require opt-in consent unless strictly necessary.
- CCPA: Baremetrics is US-based. If personal information from California residents is processed by the embed, standard CCPA service provider requirements apply.
- Data transfer: As a US company, Baremetrics should be covered by appropriate transfer mechanisms for EU visitor data.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
Yes. If your website embeds a Baremetrics Open Startups widget, treat it as a third-party analytics resource and gate it behind analytics consent. If Baremetrics is used only internally as a SaaS dashboard with no site embed, no visitor-facing action is required.
Is Baremetrics GDPR compliant?
Baremetrics typically loads analytics trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So Baremetrics can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads Baremetrics, not on Baremetrics itself.
