Hi
Can 4Analytics import data from Google Analytics or Matomo?
No, and I don't have any plan on doing that. That would destroy the privacy aspect of 4Analytics of course.
If I create a new site, will I be able to import 4Analytics's data in the new one?
Not sure what you mean by that. If you upgrade a Joomla website from, say Joomla 3 to 4 then to 5, then the db tables stay in place and given 4Analytics run the same on all these Joomla versions, it will keep working as before.
If you create a separate Joomla 5 site, for instance, you can always copy the db tables, assuming you keep the same db prefixes, or rename the tables appropriately.

Comparing analytics from the past years is a big thing for some of our clients, that's why I was asking, if we decide to go ahead with 4Analytics, some of our clients might not want to migrate. They can always stay with their current service. But Matomo has no privacy issues, it's locally installed. Maybe if you use their online service?
Sometimes we redo websites that are so old that it's better to start from scratch. Copying the DB tables is good enough.
Thanks.

Hi
But Matomo has no privacy issues, it's locally installed.
Matomo is not compliant at all and is fully "not-private". Whether you use Matomo cloud or installed on your server has nothing to do with privacy and being GDPR compliant.
Matomo is not compliant out of the box because it uses cookies to track users individually, and also tracks too many things. Matomo can be made GDPR compliant, but you lose a lot of its features (this is a page on matomo website documentation) (cannot track visitors, only page views, visitor profiles, e-commerce features, heatmaps). And you still need to have user consent (ie cookie banner).
