EU Data Residency CRM — Frankfurt, Dublin, No US Transit

The Schrems II decision (July 2020) invalidated Privacy Shield as a basis for EU→US data transfers and required organisations to perform Transfer Impact Assessments before relying on Standard Contractual Clauses. The practical result: EU customer data on US-hosted CRMs became risky, and many manufacturers were forced into data localisation programmes that delayed CRM rollouts by 12-24 months.

VynDeal solves it by architecture, not by contract clauses. EU customer data is stored exclusively in Frankfurt (eu-central-1) and Dublin (eu-west-1) AWS regions. No US round-trip. No US sub-processors that touch EU customer data. No theoretical lawful access by US authorities under FISA 702 or EO 12333. Schrems II safe.

Transfer Impact Assessment provided to all EU customers documenting: data flows, legal grounds, technical safeguards, organisational measures, and demonstrating no transfer to third countries. Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2 Controller-Processor) included in DPA where any transfer scenario is theoretically possible (e.g. customer-initiated cross-border export).

For multi-region manufacturers (EU + US + UK + APAC operations): VynDeal supports per-tenant region selection. EU subsidiary stores data in Frankfurt; UK parent stores data in London; US sales team stores data in N. Virginia. All from one VynDeal product, with no automatic cross-region data movement.
