Dayforce is a US company; its privacy statement lists Dayforce US, Inc. in Bloomington, Minnesota. Since February 2026 the company has been delisted and owned by the investment firm Thoma Bravo. A UK G-Cloud listing states that data is stored and processed in the European Economic Area, with no customer control over the location, while Dayforce itself says it may process data in any country where it and its service providers operate. For transfers from the EU it relies on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Check the hosting location and processors for your own case.
