PII Viewer for Google Analytics Extension

Sending personally identifiable information (PII) to Google Aanalytics is strictly prohibited, but sending a unique user ID is permitted. This extension allows you to map the user ID stored in Google Analytics to PII such as name and email address stored locally.

Rather than building your own custom integration to map this data together, you can simply reference a locally stored CSV file and let this Chrome extension do the hard work. This means that you comply with the privacy policy, but get to understand your visitor data.

Cody Henderson (ID: 00000060bca85cfc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/28/2018 Absolutely amazing extension. Provides so much more value to our company's use of Google Analytics. Currently have it configured to be able to display a user's name, email, and company. Really easy to set up, but the only thing that caught me off guard was that it seems you have to access GA direct from the link in the PII Viewer settings in order for the bottom toolbar to appear.
