TL;DR

GDPR doesn't allow EU customer data to ride a US round trip. VynDeal hosts EU customer data exclusively in Frankfurt and Dublin AWS regions — Schrems II safe.

safe by architecture

GDPR doesn't allow EU customer data to ride a US round trip without specific safeguards. The Schrems II decision invalidated Privacy Shield in 2020 and made many US-built CRMs uncomfortable for EU manufacturer data. The "we have a DPA" defence isn't enough — the data flow itself must be EU-resident.

VynDeal hosts EU customer data exclusively in AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1) and Dublin (eu-west-1) regions. No US transit. No US sub-processors that touch EU customer data. Schrems II safe by architecture, not by contract clauses. Signed DPA aligned with GDPR Art 28, listed sub-processors, RBAC, audit logs, breach notification with 72-hour SLA, deletion APIs for Art 17 right-to-erasure.

Built specifically for German, Norwegian, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish and other EU manufacturers who can't accept US data residency. Equally suitable for German DSGVO requirements (the strict reading of GDPR), Norwegian Personopplysningsloven, Dutch UAVG, Italian Codice Privacy.

Documentation review-ready: signed DPA template aligned with EDPB guidance, public sub-processor list with reason and country, Schrems II Transfer Impact Assessment, breach notification procedure, deletion APIs (Art 17), data export APIs (Art 20), annual penetration test summary shared under MNDA. IT signs off in one meeting, not three.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is EU data hosted?
Exclusively in AWS Frankfurt (eu-central-1) and Dublin (eu-west-1). No US transit, no US sub-processors touching EU data.
Is VynDeal Schrems II safe?
Yes — by architecture. Schrems II concerns transfers to third countries; VynDeal's EU customer data never leaves the EU, so no third-country transfer occurs.
Will you sign a DPA?
Yes. Standard GDPR Art 28 DPA aligned with EDPB guidance. We can sign customer DPA templates for material reviews — typical turnaround 5 business days.
Sub-processor list?
Public on the trust page. Each sub-processor has a stated purpose, country, and a confirmation that EU sub-processors are used for EU customer data.
What about DSGVO (Germany)?
VynDeal complies with both GDPR (EU-wide) and DSGVO (German implementation). The architecture-level EU-only data residency satisfies the strictest German interpretations.
