Trustpilot: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Trustpilot is an online review platform headquartered in Copenhagen, where consumers publish reviews of businesses. Companies use Trustpilot's business services to invite customers to review, respond to feedback and show their rating on their own website. The service is delivered as a web platform, and the parent company Trustpilot Group plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The controller for most platform data is Trustpilot A/S in Copenhagen, and the privacy policy says data processing agreements are in place with processors. The policy does not name its hosting providers or the storage locations, and it acknowledges that some processors may be located outside the user's country and that personal data of European users may be transferred outside the European Economic Area. A European organisation should review the processor list and transfer safeguards before using the service for customer communication.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Trustpilot

Trustpilot is headquartered in DK 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.

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

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