Why digital sovereignty matters with Papirfly

Papirfly is headquartered in NO, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Papirfly 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.

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