Questions about OpenProject
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.
Spotted something wrong?
Martech moves fast. Vendors change hosting regions, get acquired, publish a new DPA or rewrite their pricing, and they rarely announce it. We check what we publish and date every compliance review, but some of what you see here will be out of date before we catch it.
If you work at OpenProject and something on this page is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. Readers, same invitation. Pointing us at the page that proves it gets it changed fastest.
