About Typeform

What Typeform is and who it’s for

Typeform is a Spanish company (Barcelona) and therefore fundamentally EU-based. In practice, however, Typeform Inc. (US) appears as a subprocessor in the contract chain, and hosting runs on AWS Ireland. This makes the third-country transfer status ambiguous: a TIA is required for most GDPR-compliant setups. For teams wanting to switch, meetergo offers a native 1-click import: forms, branching logic, skip logic and lead routing are transferred directly from Typeform.

Data Categories

What data does Typeform process?

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

  • All form inputs (name, email, company, role)
  • Branching logic answers
  • File uploads (CVs, briefs, documents)
  • IP address and browser fingerprint

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:

  • Anyone submitting a form on your website
  • For career forms: applicants with CVs and personal data
  • For contact forms: prospects and existing customers

Concrete Impact

What does this mean in practice?

Lead data including sensitive fields (industry, revenue, pain points) are stored with a provider under US law. CV uploads from career forms would also be affected.

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

Typeform & Privacy: FAQ

Is Typeform GDPR-compliant?

Typeform is an EU/EEA-based provider and generally well-suited for GDPR-compliant setups. The usual obligations still apply: DPA, check the subprocessor list, document technical and organisational measures.

Who is the contractual partner for Typeform?

The contract chain includes: Typeform S.L. (Spanien, EU) · Typeform Inc. (US-Subprozessor) · AWS Ireland (EU-Hosting). 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 Typeform?

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 Typeform (Formulare). meetergo covers the core workflow and can fully replace Typeform in many cases.

Where is Typeform data stored?

According to provider information: AWS EU-West-1 (Irland). 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.

How much effort is involved in switching away from Typeform?

Time-to-value according to our migration database: Live in <1 Tag dank 1-Klick-Import. Der 1-Klick-Import übernimmt Forms, Branching-Logik und Skip-Logic direkt aus Typeform in meetergo Smart Forms, Routing-Regeln und Lead-Felder bleiben erhalten.

How does meetergo import my existing Typeforms?

meetergo Smart Forms offers a native 1-click import for Typeform. Via OAuth connection, form structures, fields, branching logic (including skip logic) and routing rules are automatically created in meetergo — no CSV exports, no manual rebuilding. The lead flow including webhooks and CRM sync can then be added, so instead of two tools (form + booking) you only operate one platform, GDPR-compliant from Frankfurt.
