myclimate: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

myclimate is a Swiss foundation based in Zurich that works on climate protection. It offers online CO2 calculators for flights, cars, households and companies, climate-protection projects that individuals and organisations can finance, consulting services, and education programmes. Companies can use its services for carbon footprinting and climate reporting, including reporting toward net-zero standards. The calculators run in a web browser and do not require installation.

The legal entity is Foundation myclimate – The Climate Protection Partnership, with its seat in Zurich. The privacy notice names the foundation as controller under the GDPR. Some forms and bookings use Microsoft 365 services, and according to the notice, data for European tenants is stored on servers in Europe. Registration data for certain education programmes is stored on servers of a Swiss computer centre in Bern. For a European organisation, the seat in Switzerland and the stated storage locations are the relevant facts.

Why digital sovereignty matters with myclimate

myclimate is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

myclimate hosts data in the EU and in Switzerland. Switzerland is covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. If you require strictly EU hosting, check the data processing agreement for which data is stored in Switzerland.

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