# Framer

## Kurzbeschreibung
**"Design websites faster with intelligent tools."**


**Framer** is a visual, no-code website builder with CMS, hosting, SEO features, and real-time collaboration.


The AI features help with creating layouts, components, and translations; in addition, there is a plugin system for integrations with models like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. Framer is therefore particularly interesting for marketing websites, landing pages, portfolios, and multilingual websites.

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

**On-prem / local hosting: indirect / not available**

Framer describes itself as a hosted platform. According to the help article, there is no HTML export for self-hosting because published sites depend on platform-managed services. An on-premise or local deployment option is not specified on the website.

**Private Cloud / Data Center: Unclear**

There is enterprise and security information, but no clear indication of a dedicated private cloud, single-tenant, or EU/EEA data center option. Not specified on the website.

**EU SaaS / Managed: Partially**

Framer is available as managed SaaS and provides DPAs/SCCs for EU/EEA customers. At the same time, the security page lists AWS in the United States as the hosting location; EU data residency or EU hosting are not specified on the website.

**Hybrid: unclear**

A hybrid operating model with partial on-premises or private processing is not described on the website. Not specified on the website.

**AVV / DPA: covered**

Framer offers a Data Processing Addendum and explicitly describes it as a supplement to the terms of the agreement. The DPA refers to SCCs for international transfers and governs subprocessors.

**No training: partially**

The AI Notice states that third-party providers may not use customer inputs and outputs to train their models. At the same time, all non-Enterprise customers grant Framer the right to use inputs and outputs in de-identified form to train its own AI models. Only for Enterprise customers is the use of inputs and outputs for training Framer AI models prohibited. A general opt-out option is not specified on the website.

**Open Source / Transparency: Partial**

The website does not mention an open-source operating model or disclose the service’s core components. A positive aspect is a transparency and migration path via data portability: Framer refers to open web standards as well as the export of site data and CMS data in standard formats.

**Data Processing**

Framer describes itself as a hosted cloud service. According to the security page, all services are operated in AWS facilities in the United States; the list of subprocessors also lists AWS with “United States.” The DPA provides for SCCs for EU/EEA-related data transfers. Subprocessors are documented on a separate page. Regarding AI, the AI Notice states: Third-party models may not use customer inputs and outputs to train their models; Framer itself may do so in de-identified form for non-Enterprise customers, but not for Enterprise customers.

**Conclusion**

For users in the EU/EEA, Framer is **only conditionally** suitable from a data protection perspective. Positive aspects include the DPA, SCCs, subprocessor transparency, and security certifications. However, the documented U.S. hosting, the unspecified EU data residency, and the use of AI inputs and outputs for training purposes for non-Enterprise customers argue against an unrestricted evaluation. The best option apparent on the website is likely Enterprise use with a DPA review and without permission for training AI data; a simple EU-only hosting or on-premises option is not evident.

Framer documents a GDPR-compliant legal basis for data processing in the EU/EEA context via a Data Processing Addendum with SCCs and describes security measures and certifications. At the same time, the website lists AWS data centers in the United States as the hosting location for all services. The website does not specify an EU data residency or an EU/EEA hosting option. Additionally, according to the AI Notice, inputs and outputs from non-enterprise customers are used in de-identified form to train Framer’s AI models. For use within Europe, Framer cannot therefore be generally considered fully GDPR-compliant, but only under certain conditions—specifically, following a DPA/SCC review and depending on the pricing plan or the decision to opt out of certain AI features.

**Positive**

The website includes a privacy policy, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) based on Article 28 with reference to Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for transfers to third countries, a list of subprocessors, and security information. Framer also cites ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2. For enterprise customers, the AI Notice states that inputs and outputs are not used for training Framer AI models.

**Negative**

The website lists AWS facilities in the United States as the hosting location for all Framer services. The website does not specify an EU data residency, EU data centers, or an EU-only hosting option. For non-enterprise customers, the AI Notice permits the use of inputs and outputs in de-identified form for training Framer AI models. The website does not provide for an on-premises or true self-hosting option.

**Server Location**

According to the security page, all Framer services are hosted in AWS facilities in the United States. AWS is also listed in the subprocessor list with “Territories: United States.” An EU/EEA data center location for the service itself is not specified on the website.

Framer B.V., Attn: Compliance Officer, Rozengracht 207B, 1016 LZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands

## Vorteile
- Very strong no-code approach for websites and landing pages.
- AI-powered layout, component, and translation features directly in the product.
- Built-in hosting, CMS, SEO, A/B testing, funnels, and publishing from a single interface.
- Real-time collaboration, roles/permissions, and enterprise security features available.
- Reverse proxy/hybrid hosting is available for advanced setups.

## Nachteile
- No publicly documented classic on-prem deployment; Framer remains the content origin even when using a reverse proxy.
- From a GDPR perspective, it is not entirely frictionless, because Framer runs on AWS, uses global edge hosting, and names several US subprocessors.
- The public statement “no customer data for training” is clear for AI Translate, but not a blanket statement for all AI features; at the same time, the Privacy Statement says automated systems may analyze content with ML to improve services.
- The free plan is intended more for testing; a custom domain requires an upgrade.
