How we reached this
Danish legal entity: Morningscore ApS, Company ID (VAT) DK39311437, Rugårdsvej 55 A, 1. tv., 5000 Odense C, Denmark, Managing Director Karsten Madsen, confirmed in both the privacy policy footer and the DPA's own header, read raw (curl, not WebFetch summary) 2026-09-09. COMPLIANT: the general privacy policy is a fairly generic template with no hosting or transfer detail, but the separately published DPA at morningscore.io/dpa is the strongest read in this directory to date. It states plainly that primary data storage is in the EU (databases in Germany at Hetzner Online GmbH, file storage in Ireland via AWS eu-west-1, both ISO 27001 certified), names the exact non-EEA destination countries for any transfer (United States, United Kingdom, Israel), and cites the specific legal safeguard for each: EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or GDPR Article 46(2)(c) SCCs for the US, the UK adequacy decision with IDTA/SCCs as a stated fallback, and the European Commission's own adequacy decision for Israel (accurate — Israel does hold an EU adequacy decision). The DPA is entered under GDPR Article 28 and the Danish Data Protection Act, takes effect automatically on signup, and is permanently published at a stable URL, hence dpaEvidence PUBLISHED and sccInPlace true. extraterritorialExposure is still US_CLOUD_ACT despite the EU hosting location, because AWS (Ireland) is a US company and the CLOUD Act reaches data it physically holds regardless of region, the same reasoning applied to Vainu's AWS-hosted-in-EU listing. schremsIIRisk is LOW rather than MEDIUM specifically because the transfer safeguard is named per-country with the actual legal mechanism cited, not a generic reference to 'appropriate safeguards' — this is the level of specificity the LOW rating is meant to reward. The general privacy policy separately names Crisp (a French live-chat vendor already EU_OWNED in this directory) as a sub-processor with a signed DPA for support-chat data.

The Danish Entity, and the Best DPA Read in This Directory
Operated by Morningscore ApS, Company ID (VAT) DK39311437, Rugårdsvej 55 A, 1. tv., 5000 Odense C, Denmark, Managing Director Karsten Madsen.
The general privacy policy itself is a fairly generic template that names no hosting provider and never discusses international transfers. The real documentation lives in a separate, permanently published DPA at morningscore.io/dpa, entered under GDPR Article 28 and the Danish Data Protection Act, and it's unusually specific: "Primary data storage remains in the EU (databases in Germany; file storage in Ireland, AWS eu-west-1)", with hosting named explicitly as Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) and AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland), both ISO 27001 certified. It then names exactly which non-EEA countries receive any transfer — United States, United Kingdom, Israel — and cites the specific legal safeguard for each one: the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Article 46(2)(c) Standard Contractual Clauses for US sub-processors, the UK's adequacy decision (with IDTA/SCCs as a stated fallback), and the European Commission's own adequacy decision for Israel. That level of specificity, country by country with the actual legal mechanism named rather than a generic reference to "appropriate safeguards", is rare in this category.
Because AWS is a US company, this listing still carries US_CLOUD_ACT exposure despite the EU hosting location, the same reasoning applied to Vainu. But the Schrems II risk itself is rated LOW rather than MEDIUM, because Morningscore's transfer-safeguard documentation is exactly the kind of specific, checkable response to that risk this directory looks for.

Pros & Cons
Categories
Morningscore GDPR & data protection: common questions
Is Morningscore GDPR compliant?
Yes. On the evidence we checked, Morningscore meets the requirements European businesses usually need. Morningscore is a European company headquartered in Denmark, data is hosted within the European Union.
Where does Morningscore store data?
Morningscore states: ""Primary data storage remains in the EU (databases in Germany; file storage in Ireland, AWS eu-west-1)" and "Hosting at Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) and AWS (eu-west-1, Ireland)" (morningscore.io/dpa/, read raw 2026-09-09).". Data is hosted within the European Union.
Does Morningscore offer a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?
We could not locate a published DPA for Morningscore. That does not mean one is unavailable. Many vendors provide it on request or inside the account area rather than publishing it. Ask before you sign.
What a DPA has to cover →Is Morningscore a European company?
Yes. Morningscore is headquartered in Denmark and, as far as we can establish, European-owned.
Is Morningscore subject to the US CLOUD Act?
Indirectly. Morningscore itself is European-owned and headquartered in Denmark, so the company is not subject to US jurisdiction. The exposure runs through a US provider in its processing chain, a host, CDN or other sub-processor, which can be compelled to disclose data it holds even when that data sits on EU servers. That is a narrower exposure than a US-owned vendor, and the compliance notes above say which provider it is. Standard Contractual Clauses are in place for transfers, which is the required safeguard but does not override a lawful US order.
Schrems II compliance checklist →Who are Morningscore's sub-processors?
Morningscore publishes its sub-processor list at https://morningscore.io/dpa/. Worth reading: a vendor hosting in the EU can still route data through non-EU sub-processors, which is where residency claims usually come apart.
