OpenProject GDPR & data protection: common questions

Is OpenProject GDPR compliant?

Partly. OpenProject meets some of the requirements, with caveats worth reading before you commit. OpenProject is a European company headquartered in Germany, data is hosted within the European Union, and a Data Processing Agreement is published. Every claim on this page links to the vendor's own documentation.

Where does OpenProject store data?

OpenProject states: "… “Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.". Data is hosted within the European Union.

Does OpenProject offer a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?

Yes. OpenProject publishes a DPA at https://www.openproject.org/legal/data-processing-agreement/. A DPA is required under Article 28 GDPR whenever a provider processes personal data on your behalf.

What a DPA has to cover →

Is OpenProject a European company?

Yes. OpenProject is headquartered in Germany and, as far as we can establish, European-owned.

Who are OpenProject's sub-processors?

OpenProject publishes its sub-processor list at https://www.openproject.org/legal/data-processing-agreement/sub-processors/. 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.
