How we review

Accounting packages with data in the EU

15 of the 24 accounting packages in our guide store your data in the EU and offer a data processing agreement, according to the facts we checked with the vendor. They are listed in order of our overall score.

Why it matters

An accounting package stores the names and addresses of your customers. The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) gives a cloud service that stores personal data as an example of a processor. A data processing agreement is then mandatory.

Ask the vendor: Do you offer a data processing agreement, and in which country are my data and backups stored?
