## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** Yes

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

No mention of on-premises or self-hosting options on the website. Jimdo is available exclusively as a SaaS platform; installation on your own hardware is not supported.

**Private Cloud / Data Center: Indirect / Not Available**

Jimdo uses AWS cloud infrastructure in the EU but does not offer a dedicated private cloud option or a multi-tenant environment for individual customers. Data is stored within the EU, but there is no isolated customer environment.

**EU SaaS / Managed: Covered**

Jimdo operates its service as a fully managed SaaS with EU data residency on AWS EU. The homepage states: “Made in Germany — with servers hosted in Europe.” The AVV is automatically included in the Terms of Service.

**Hybrid: Indirect / Not Available**

No hybrid deployment option is described on the website. Jimdo is purely cloud-based with no local components.

**AVV / DPA: Covered**

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA/AVV) has been an automatic part of the Terms of Service since February 7, 2022 (legal.jimdo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000782763). No separate agreement is required. Subprocessors are publicly documented, with a right to object.

**No training: unclear**

No explicit statement was found on the website (jimdo.com and legal.jimdo.com) regarding whether user data, prompts, or content are used to train AI models or whether an opt-out is possible. Not specified on the website.

**Open Source / Transparency Path: Indirect / Not Available**

No reference to open-source components, open models, or self-hosting options was found on the website. Jimdo is a proprietary platform. Data export is generally possible (under GDPR), but no technical transparency path is documented.

**Data Processing**

Jimdo GmbH (Hamburg, Germany) processes data exclusively on AWS infrastructure within the EU. Subprocessors are publicly listed on legal.jimdo.com, including AWS (EU, no international transfer). For subprocessors outside the EU, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and/or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework are cited as the legal basis. The Data Processing Agreement has been automatically included in the Terms of Service since February 2022.

**Conclusion**

Jimdo is a SaaS platform developed and operated in Germany with clear EU data residency (AWS EU), an automatically integrated Data Processing Agreement (DPA), and a publicly available list of subprocessors. For small businesses and self-employed individuals, GDPR-compliant use is possible without additional effort. Limitations include the lack of a statement regarding an AI training opt-out, as well as the complete absence of on-premises, private cloud, or open-source options. Jimdo’s own security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) are not documented on its website.

Jimdo is a German company (Jimdo GmbH, Hamburg) and explicitly promotes itself on its own website as GDPR-compliant: “GDPR-compliant data protection and security built in from day one.” The infrastructure runs on AWS data centers within the EU; a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) has been an automatic part of the Terms of Service since February 2022; subprocessors are documented; and international transfers are safeguarded via Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For German users, this makes GDPR-compliant use possible without any significant additional effort.

**Positive**

Explicit commitment to the GDPR on the homepage; servers located exclusively in the EU (AWS EU); DPA automatically included in the Terms of Service (no separate agreement required); public list of subprocessors with legal bases (SCCs, EU-U.S. DPF); Headquarters in Germany (Hamburg); dedicated data protection contact address (privacy@jimdo.com); technical and organizational measures (TOMs) documented.

**Negative**

No evidence of Jimdo’s own ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification on the website (only a reference to AWS security practices); No explicit statement regarding the option to opt out of AI training found on the website; no self-hosting or on-premises option available; users are entirely reliant on Jimdo’s cloud infrastructure.

**Server Location**

AWS data centers within the European Union (explicitly documented at legal.jimdo.com/hc/en-us/articles/20332078550676). No specific country or data center is named, but EU data residency is confirmed. No international data transfers for the core infrastructure.
