Frequently asked questions

Is FormVault GDPR compliant?

Yes. FormVault is built privacy-first: all data is stored and processed in Germany (Hetzner), responses are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is included on every plan including free. We do not embed third-party tracking scripts on form pages.

Where is form data stored?

All data is stored exclusively in Germany on Hetzner infrastructure. We do not replicate data to US data centres or any region outside the EU.

Do you offer a Data Processing Agreement?

Yes — a signed DPA is available on all plans, including the free tier. You do not need an enterprise contract or lawyer to get a DPA with FormVault.

What encryption does FormVault use?

Every form response is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM using a per-submission key. Responses are decrypted in your browser only — not on our servers. Even FormVault staff cannot read your respondents' data.

Is FormVault a GDPR-compliant Typeform alternative?

Yes. Unlike Typeform, FormVault provides EU data residency on all plans (including free), no third-party trackers on the form player, end-to-end encryption, and a DPA for every customer. It's built specifically for EU organisations that need guaranteed compliance.

Can respondents request deletion of their data?

Yes. FormVault has a built-in respondent portal for GDPR data subject requests. Respondents can request access to or deletion of their submissions, and deletions are logged in the audit trail.
