Typeform: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Typeform is a no-code platform for building forms and automated workflows with AI. It consists of Intelligent Forms for collecting and analysing responses, Growth Flow for lead capture and follow-up, and Research Flow for AI-moderated studies. Features include conversational logic with adaptive follow-up questions, video and audio answers, topic and sentiment analysis, payments through Stripe and PayPal, and integrations with tools such as Slack, HubSpot and Zapier. The service is delivered online.

Typeform is a Spanish company headquartered in Barcelona; the contracting entity in its data processing agreement is TYPEFORM, S.L. Its sub-processors include affiliates in San Francisco, the United Kingdom and Berlin. Responses are processed in the United States by default; the EU Responses Data Center, which stores and processes responses in the EU, is an Enterprise feature. The service is not open source. A European organisation that needs EU storage should therefore check that its plan includes this option.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Typeform

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

Typeform hosts data in US, EU. 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.

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