Edkimo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Edkimo is a feedback platform for teachers and schools. Students answer questions anonymously via a link or QR code, on any device and without an account. Teachers use ready-made templates or their own questions, view results as charts or word clouds, and can allocate choices such as electives or project weeks based on student preferences. Schools can build surveys as a team, discuss feedback with colleagues and combine results into a school report. Edkimo is delivered as a web service (SaaS) and is not open source.

Edkimo GmbH is based in Berlin, Germany. According to its privacy policy, the application server runs in a Hetzner Online AG data centre in Germany and the website server at ALL-INKL.COM, also in Germany. At school level, the school or school authority is the data controller and Edkimo acts as processor. For a European educational institution, this means a German provider with storage inside Germany. The sources consulted show no foreign parent company. The data processing agreement is available on Edkimo's legal page.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Edkimo

Edkimo is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Edkimo scores best on data residency.

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