Maptionnaire: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Maptionnaire is a platform for map-based surveys and community engagement. Planners use it to design questionnaires with map-based questions, to collect responses online, on mobile devices, at kiosks and face to face, and to analyse results with linked maps and charts. It is a cloud service used through the browser, and it suits participatory planning projects that need spatial input from residents or stakeholders.

Maptionnaire is operated by Mapita Oy, based in Helsinki, Finland. The service is hosted on AWS, primarily in Ireland as an EU region, with a separate US region for US-based clients. The company states that it is fully compliant with the GDPR and says that its processor agreements include EU standard contractual clauses. For European planners, the main hosting in Ireland and a Finnish operator keep most processing within the EU. Some sub-processors are US-based, such as the map provider Mapbox, so the hosting and sub-processor arrangements should be checked for each project.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Maptionnaire

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

Maptionnaire hosts data in EU, US. 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.

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