Sellfy: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Sellfy is a store builder for creators who want to open a shop without writing code. With its shops, users sell digital downloads, physical products, subscriptions and print-on-demand items. The company's website gives 2011 as its founding year, and the service is available worldwide.

The operator is UAB Sellfy, a Lithuanian company with its registered office in Vilnius, so the controller is established in the EU. The privacy policy refers to the GDPR and EU legislation and names Amazon Web Services and MongoDB as IT service providers, without stating where their data centres are. The policy lists transfers of personal data to the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Israel under European Commission model clauses. It does not mention a data processing agreement. Ownership is not stated on the vendor's website.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Sellfy

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

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Sellfy scores best on data residency.

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