Gamma: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Gamma is an AI platform that generates and edits presentations, documents and web pages. Users describe a topic or upload material, and Gamma produces a formatted first draft that they adjust and share themselves. According to Gamma, the user decides whether their content may be used to train AI models. Gamma is delivered as a cloud service in the browser; the software is proprietary and not open source.

Gamma Tech, Inc. is a US company based in San Francisco. Its privacy policy says personal information is accessed and processed in the United States, relying on safeguards other than an adequacy decision. A data processing addendum with a GDPR annex and standard contractual clauses is available, and according to its Trust Center Gamma holds a SOC 2 Type II report. The vendor names no EU data region and no hosting platform. A European organisation that creates confidential presentations in Gamma is therefore subject to US jurisdiction and should review the processing terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Gamma

Gamma 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.

Gamma 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.

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