US electronic signature and agreement management platform. Below are 5 alternatives from companies headquartered in Croatia, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and France. 5 of them keep data in the EU only, and 3 have a free plan.
Headquartered in Europe
Every company listed here has its headquarters in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, not just a data centre there.
Data location you can check
The pricing table shows whether each one keeps data in the EU only, offers an EU region, or does not say.
Outside the US CLOUD Act
US providers can be ordered to hand over data held in their European data centres. A European company with no US parent or US operations is outside that reach.
