Where your data goes, and what covers it

Customer data is hosted in Mumbai, India. We sign the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision 2021/914, Module Two) and provide our part of the written transfer impact assessment. Enterprise customers who need processing inside Germany or the EU can run the platform on their own infrastructure with feature parity.

The full table of instruments by regime is section 5 of the Data Processing Addendum; the current state of every certification we do and do not hold is on the trust centre.

The accessibility target for Germany

WCAG 2.1 AA through EN 301 549, for both the BFSG and BITV 2.0. The audit runs against WCAG 2.2 A, AA and AAA, which contains 2.1; the Prüfbericht is generated from the scan and is the evidence for your own assessment of conformity.

Audits map findings to sixty-six country standards and export a conformance report; how the accessibility module works.

The words Germany uses for the need, mapped

The same job has a different name in every market, and sometimes the honest answer is that the name describes a service we are not.

Record once in a real browser, heal with a person in the loop, export to Playwright or Selenium.

Test recorder

Penetrationstest, Pentest

OWASP scans and authorised exploitation against systems whose ownership is proven, with evidence on every confirmed finding. A tool, not a Pentest-Dienstleister.

Security testing

BFSG Prüfung, Barrierefreiheit testen, WCAG 2.1 AA Prüfung

Audits against WCAG 2.2 mapped to EN 301 549 with a conformance report; whether a service is in scope of the BFSG, or exempt as a micro-enterprise, is a legal assessment on your side.

Accessibility audits

Lasttest Tool, API-Test Tool

Load profiles from a recorded flow; REST, GraphQL, gRPC and SOAP in the API studio.

Performance and load

DSGVO-konform

EU clauses with a transfer impact assessment, processor terms in the addendum, synthetic test data so staging holds no personal data, and on-premise deployment where the data must not leave the EU.

Billing and support hours

Prices are quoted in US dollars on every plan, before any tax your jurisdiction applies to imported software services. Self-serve plans are paid by card; Enterprise agreements are invoiced. If procurement needs a quotation with your tax identifiers, ask through the contact form (topic: billing). Umsatzsteuer on business purchases of services from outside the EU is normally accounted for by the buyer under the reverse-charge mechanism; confirm with your tax adviser.

Berlin is 4.5 hours behind Indian Standard Time (3.5 hours in summer time), so an Indian working day overlaps the German morning and early afternoon. Response targets by plan are on the service levels page.

Plans and caps are on the pricing page; response targets by plan are on the service levels page.

Questions teams in Germany ask

Does the WCAG report satisfy the BFSG?

The BFSG requires in-scope services to meet the accessibility requirements, specified through EN 301 549 for websites and apps, which carries WCAG 2.1 AA. The audit runs against WCAG 2.2 and maps its findings to that standard, so the report is the evidence. Whether your service is in scope, and whether the micro-enterprise exemption applies, is a legal assessment on your side.

Is the product available in German?

The product interface is, as one of its twenty-one languages. This marketing site’s German edition is planned and will be published under its own prefix only once a reviewer has approved the translation.

Can our data stay in the EU?

Cloud tenants are hosted in Mumbai, India, under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with a transfer impact assessment. Enterprise customers who need processing inside the EU run the platform on their own infrastructure, on-premise or air-gapped, with feature parity.
