Contract & Subprocessor Chain

Even if the main provider is based in the EU, a US subprocessor in this chain can trigger a third-country transfer. This is the core pitfall of .

Data Categories

What data does Chili Piper process?

In typical use, the following data categories arise. Which ones are relevant for you depends on your setup and scope of use.

  • Inbound lead data (name, company, role)
  • Routing decisions (which sales rep gets the lead)
  • CRM sync status with Salesforce / HubSpot
  • Appointment and availability data

Data Subjects

Who is affected by the processing?

Under Art. 30 GDPR, you must document the categories of data subjects per processing activity. In typical use, these include:

  • Inbound leads from B2B funnels
  • Sales reps and their pipeline data

Concrete Impact

What does this mean in practice?

Your complete sales pipeline data (who buys what, from whom, at what volume) could be required to be disclosed to US authorities. For B2B sales to competitor-sensitive sectors (defence, pharma, energy) this is critical.

Note: This is a risk description, not a specific incident. Whether access occurred in your case depends on many factors. What can be documented: the risk must be named in your TIA and mitigated with additional measures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chili Piper & Privacy: FAQ

Is Chili Piper GDPR-compliant?

Chili Piper can be used in a GDPR-compliant way if a valid DPA is in place, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are signed, and a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) has been conducted. However, the provider is headquartered in the US (Chili Piper Inc.), so the CLOUD Act and FISA 702 continue to apply. This is true even when data is stored in an EU data centre. For sensitive data or strict oversight (public authorities, healthcare, large corporates), switching to an EU provider is often preferred.

Who is the contractual partner for Chili Piper?

The contract chain includes: Chili Piper Inc. (US). The legal parent entity is decisive for data protection. Even if an EU subsidiary signs the DPA, a US subprocessor in the chain can trigger third-country transfer obligations.

What EU alternatives are there to Chili Piper?

There are several GDPR-compliant EU alternatives. They are listed under "EU Alternatives" on this page. The selection is tailored to the feature set of Chili Piper (Lead-Routing & Terminbuchung). meetergo covers the core workflow and can fully replace Chili Piper in many cases.

Where is Chili Piper data stored?

According to provider information: AWS US-East / GCP US-Central. Note: even an EU data centre does not protect against the CLOUD Act when the parent company is in the US. This is the core finding of the Schrems II decision.

What does the CLOUD Act mean for Chili Piper users?

The US CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act, 2018) allows US authorities to request data from US companies regardless of the physical storage location. If Chili Piper Inc. is subject to the CLOUD Act, US law enforcement could theoretically access Chili Piper data stored in Frankfurt without involving EU authorities. The EDPB Recommendations 01/2020 therefore require additional safeguards or a switch to an EU provider.

Do I need a TIA for Chili Piper?

Yes, in most cases. Since Schrems II (July 2020), a Transfer Impact Assessment is mandatory for US providers when personal data is transferred. The TIA documents US law, practical risks (NSA access, subpoenas) and additional measures (encryption, pseudonymisation). Only a valid TIA makes the use of Chili Piper legally defensible.

How much effort is involved in switching away from Chili Piper?

Time-to-value according to our migration database: Setup in 3–5 Werktagen. Routing-Regeln, Verfügbarkeiten und Salesforce/HubSpot-Sync lassen sich 1:1 nachbauen.
