Cameyo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cameyo is a virtual app delivery service. It converts existing Windows applications into progressive web apps that run in the browser, so users open them from an app shelf without a VPN or a full virtual desktop. According to the vendor, it uses a zero-trust design and integrates with Chrome Enterprise, Google Workspace and ChromeOS. IT administrators choose which access to local files and cloud storage services is permitted. The product is offered as a cloud service.

Cameyo is offered as 'Cameyo by Google'. According to its privacy notice, Cameyo, Inc. is the controller for service data and its parent company is the US-based Google LLC. Google's data processing addendum states that customer data may be processed in any country where Google or its subprocessors have facilities, with an optional data location selection; a separate EU region for Cameyo is not documented. For transfers the company refers to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. As part of a US company, Cameyo is subject to US law such as the CLOUD Act.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cameyo

Cameyo 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.

Cameyo hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Cameyo 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 Cameyo together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
