## Kurzbeschreibung
**“The Visual No Code App Builder – Now Powered By AI”**



**Adalo** is a visual no-code platform for building and publishing database-driven web apps as well as native iOS and Android apps from a single project. 


AI features such as Ada, Magic Start, Magic Add, Visual AI Direction, and X-Ray support the generation, editing, and review of apps using natural language. The focus is therefore on app building, data modeling, publishing, and integrations—not on an isolated AI chat or content tool.

## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional

**Overall assessment of hosting & data: **

Adalo is a managed no-code/AI app builder platform for database-driven web, iOS, and Android apps. Ada, the AI Assistant, is included in all plans and can create and edit apps using natural language. Positive aspects include the integrated relational database, app store publishing, no usage-based token/action billing, custom domains, external data sources, the AI Assistant, and Adalo Blue for dedicated infrastructure or on-premise scenarios. Critical points include the standard cloud/US connection, external integrations, app end-user data, the lack of blanket EU data residency, and the app operator’s responsibility for the privacy policy, consents, role permissions, and data minimization. 


**Conclusion: **

Adalo AI is very well suited for rapid no-code app creation and MVPs; for GDPR-critical apps, external EU databases, a DPA, Adalo Blue, clear app privacy texts, access controls, and subprocessors should be reviewed.




[Privacy Policy](https://www.adalo.com/privacy-policy/)

**GDPR assessment:** From a GDPR perspective, Adalo is conditionally suitable. 


**Positive **is that Adalo states in its Privacy Policy that it processes Customer Content on behalf of and according to the instructions of the customer; in addition, Adalo help pages refer to a DPA with GDPR Article 28 obligations, subprocessors, and EU-US transfer mechanisms. Adalo mentions international data transfers and appropriate safeguards; the platform also enables external data sources, allowing EU databases or custom backends to be connected. 


**Negative** is that Adalo, Inc. is based in the USA and, according to the Privacy Policy, personal data may be processed in countries where Adalo or service providers operate. A general EU-only data residency for standard Adalo is not publicly documented; older community statements mentioned US storage. 


**Server location: **For standard Adalo, there is no confirmed EU-only region; provider is in the USA, international processing is possible. For Adalo Blue, dedicated infrastructure, on-premise capability, and arbitrary data sources are mentioned. Further link: Adalo Privacy Policy, DPA help, and Pricing.
