ConveyThis: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ConveyThis is a website translation service. Once installed on a site, it translates every page automatically and gives each language its own indexable address. According to the vendor it supports more than two hundred languages and connects through a plugin or app for platforms such as WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow and Squarespace, or through a single line of JavaScript for other sites. Translations are cached and delivered through a CDN. ConveyThis is offered entirely as a cloud service.

ConveyThis is a trademark of ConveyThis LLC and is described by the vendor as American ("Made in the USA"); no business address is given on the website. The vendor says it follows GDPR rules and offers dedicated translation servers in its Enterprise tier. Where data is stored in the standard service is not published. Because translated content and possibly visitor data pass through a US provider, the service is likely subject to the CLOUD Act. European organisations should have a data processing agreement and the storage location confirmed beforehand.

Why digital sovereignty matters with ConveyThis

ConveyThis 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.

ConveyThis 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.

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