Breezy HR: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Breezy HR is an applicant tracking system and hiring software, complemented by a separate performance-management product, Breezy Perform.

The service is an online platform with a trial period; the website does not describe the delivery model further.

Breezy HR, Inc. is a US company and, according to its website, part of Learning Technologies Group plc, which is based in London. According to that group's privacy notice, Breezy HR is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and data may be released to US public authorities in response to lawful requests. The data storage location is not stated. Breezy HR is not open source. A US entity is subject to the CLOUD Act, so ask about the hosting region and the processors in the data processing agreement.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Breezy HR

Breezy HR is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Breezy HR hosts data in EU, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Breezy HR is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Breezy HR together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
