It is often difficult to assess whether a software or service can be used in compliance with the GDPR. Many providers answer this question with a blanket "yes" and potential users are willing to trust this information when choosing one of these services.

But there are a few stumbling blocks.

Take a closer look at the reviews of well-known services from popular US providers. For example, many still refer to the "EU-U.S. Privacy Shield". However, this agreement was declared invalid by the European Court of Justice. In response, many providers offer to process data exclusively in the EU, sometimes for an additional charge. However, it is no secret that the US government also wants to access data that is managed in the systems of US providers in other countries. For this reason, it is probably better to refrain from using such services until the legal framework has been clearly clarified.

In our white paper, we offer you a 7-point checklist in which we have summarized the most important questions and information. Check this checklist to get an indication of whether a service is GDPR-compliant or not.
