Kaspr: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Kaspr is a French sales-prospecting tool that gives sales teams business contact details, such as work email addresses and phone numbers. It is mainly used through a browser extension for LinkedIn, complemented by a dashboard, bulk enrichment of lead lists and an API. The vendor describes its data as accurate and GDPR-compliant; this has not been independently assessed. Kaspr is delivered as an online service.

Kaspr SAS is registered in Paris. In April 2022 the UK company Cognism Limited acquired the business, which places its owner outside the EU. The privacy policy states that personal data is processed within the UK, EU and EEA as far as possible. It does, however, name US-based sub-processors such as HubSpot and Google for analytics, and refers to standard contractual clauses for transfers. Hosting locations are not stated. Because prospecting data concerns individuals, European organisations should check the legal basis and transfer safeguards before use.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Kaspr

Kaspr is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in GB. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.

Kaspr hosts data in EU, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

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