Project management tools with data in the EU

7 of the 16 project management tools 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

If your projects contain personal data, the vendor processes it for you and the GDPR requires a data processing agreement.

Ask the vendor: Do you offer a data processing agreement, and which sub-processors do you use?
