4 messaging & chat tools hosted in Germany, compliant with Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG).
GDPR & Messaging & Chat
Business messaging platforms accumulate a vast archive of internal communications: strategy discussions, HR conversations, client details, financial figures, and casual exchanges that may inadvertently contain personal data. Unlike email, messaging tends to be informal and high-volume, making it harder to audit and control. Under GDPR, this unstructured personal data still requires proper protection, lawful processing, and the ability to respond to data subject requests. European messaging providers address these concerns by encrypting messages end-to-end, storing all data on EU servers, and providing administrative tools for message retention and deletion policies. This ensures that your team's daily communication is governed by European law, not subject to foreign surveillance frameworks.
Data Protection in Germany
Messaging & Chat data hosted in Germany is protected under Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG), which implements the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This ensures your messaging & chat data stays under European jurisdiction and cannot be compelled for disclosure under non-EU law.
