FDDB: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

FDDB is a German calorie table and food diary, offered under the name fddb.info. Users log meals and weight, search a database of products and dishes, and manage their nutrition goals. The service is available in the browser and through mobile apps for Android and iOS. Users regularly add new products, which are reviewed before publication, and the service is aimed at people who want to monitor their diet or weight.

The operator is Food Database GmbH in Bremen, which names itself as controller under the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act in its privacy statement. The company is established in Germany and therefore falls under EU data protection rules. The publicly accessible privacy statement does not name a hosting provider or server location, and no sub-processor list is published. The website does not state who owns the company or its group structure. For a European organisation, the main point to confirm is where data is stored and which processors are used.

Why digital sovereignty matters with FDDB

FDDB 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 FDDB scores best on data residency.

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