EU & GDPR-compliant uptime monitoring tools.
If your data has to stay in the EU, your monitoring tool counts too. Here is how to choose GDPR-compliant uptime monitoring tools.
Choosing GDPR-compliant uptime monitoring tools is not only about a checkbox on a feature page — it is about where the data lives, who can touch it, and how the vendor treats your visitors. Here is what to look for.
What 'GDPR-compliant monitoring' actually means
EU data residency for your monitored URLs and results, a lawful basis for any processing, and privacy-respecting analytics that do not quietly track your visitors.
Questions to ask a vendor
Where is monitoring data stored and processed? Is there cross-account isolation? Do they use cookieless analytics, or drop third-party trackers? Is hosting EU-based end to end, or only fronted by an EU domain?
Why EU-hosted matters for agencies
If you monitor client sites, your subprocessors become their concern. An EU-hosted, GDPR-first monitor is one less thing to explain in a client's data-processing review.
How we compare to the incumbents
Most established monitors are US-based. If that is a problem for you, our Pingdom and UptimeRobot alternative pages cover the differences, and pricing is built for small EU teams.
Choose monitoring you can trust with EU data.
