Zusammenfassung aus Eigentümerschaft und CLOUD-Act-Risiko.
Barcelona-headquartered Typeform SL but heavily US-VC-funded with a San Francisco Typeform Inc and AWS hosting; listed with procurement warning.
Typeform aus der Kategorie Formulare & Umfragen bietet EU-Hosting mit United States als Hosting-Standort, doch ein US-Mutterkonzern oder Unterauftragsverarbeiter hinterlässt ein materielles CLOUD-Act-Risiko.
Barcelona-headquartered (Typeform SL) but the cap table is heavily US-VC (General Atlantic, Index, Point Nine, Connect Ventures, Top Tier Capital Partners, GP Bullhound, Teamworthy, Trium) on top of a Sofina-led Series C, a Typeform Inc. presence in San Francisco contracts non-EEA customers, and customer data sits on AWS (confirmed via AWS Marketplace listing), EU-headquartered but US-VC-funded, with a US legal entity and material CLOUD Act exposure via AWS at rest; no public DPA URL resolved at audit.
Wie stark Kundendaten US-Behörden nach dem CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) ausgesetzt sind.
Wo die letztliche Kontrolle über das Betreiberunternehmen liegt.
Typeform is a Barcelona-headquartered conversational form and survey platform founded in 2012 by David Okuniev and Robert Muñoz, operated by Typeform SL with a US office and Typeform Inc. entity in San Francisco. The product builds forms, surveys, quizzes, polls, and conversational onboarding flows with 500+ integrations (Slack, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Zapier, HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.), an AI form builder, and a strong design-driven UX that made the product a category-defining brand. The company markets enterprise penetration as "95% of the Fortune 500" and reports total funding of around US$193M across multiple rounds.
For an EU-sovereignty audit, Typeform is the canonical example of "Spanish HQ does not equal EU-controlled". The 2022 Series C raised US$135M led by Sofina (a Belgian listed holding) with significant participation from General Atlantic (US PE), Index Ventures (UK/US), Point Nine (DE), Connect Ventures (UK), Top Tier Capital Partners (US), GP Bullhound (UK), Teamworthy Ventures (US), and Trium Venture Partners, a cap table that is heavily US-VC-weighted alongside European and UK investors. A separate US legal entity (Typeform Inc., San Francisco) contracts non-EEA customers, and customer form data is hosted on Amazon Web Services per the public AWS Marketplace listing. Per the directory's strict CLOUD Act stance, provider parent jurisdiction matters more than data-centre region (Schrems II / Microsoft Ireland v US), the AWS dependency plus the US Inc plus the US-VC ownership translate to material CLOUD Act exposure and an eu_hq_us_funded ownership flag. The listing carries a procurement warning: EU-headquartered but not EU-controlled, hosted on a US-owned hyperscaler.
Pricing in EUR is mid-range: Basic from US$25/month (€26) on annual billing with 100 responses/month included on the Free tier; Growth, Talent, and Enterprise tiers above. SOC 2 attested at the company level; ISO 27001 commonly cited but not directly verified on the public security page. Best fit: marketing teams and customer-research teams who specifically want the Typeform UX and can accept a US-VC-funded vendor on AWS. Procurement-led EU-only buyers should prefer Tally (BE, EU-owned, EU-hosted, public DPA) for free unlimited forms, Survicate (PL) for in-product surveys, or Findmind (CH) for research workflows, listed alongside in this category.
