Ab Initio supplies software for enterprise-scale data processing, in particular data integration and ETL-style data flows in large organisations. According to the vendor, its products can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud or across multiple clouds. The software therefore runs on infrastructure the customer chooses, rather than as a service operated by the vendor.
Ab Initio Software LLC is a privately held company headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, in the United States, and is subject to US jurisdiction. Because the customer decides where the software runs, processed data in principle stays on your own servers or in your own cloud environment, in the EU if you set it up that way. The privacy policy on the website covers only website visits and does not mention GDPR or a data processing agreement. For support, licensing and any remote access, the vendor remains a US party, which is relevant to contract terms for European organisations.
