European email marketing software: common questions
Which email marketing tools host data in the EU?
26 of the 35 email marketing tools listed here host data within the EU: Acumbamail, Brevo, Clever Elements, CleverReach, EmailLabs, EmailOctopus and 20 more.
Which email marketing tools are European-owned?
29 of 35 are European-owned (Acumbamail, Brevo, Clever Elements, CleverReach, Dolist, Ecomail and 23 more). The remainder (Dotdigital, EmailOctopus, Mailercloud, RedEye, SendPulse, Sequenzy) are listed because they are usable under GDPR, but they are not European companies, and we label them that way rather than hiding it.
Do these email marketing tools offer a Data Processing Agreement?
We located a published DPA for 13 of 35: Acumbamail, Brevo, GetResponse, Keila, MailSenpai, MailerLite and 7 more. Article 28 GDPR requires one whenever a provider processes personal data on your behalf. The others may still provide one on request. Many do not publish it.
