Vendor profile
Kahoot!: where is customer data stored and processed?
Kahoot! stores customer personal data in Europe (country not specified), Canada, Germany, the USA, Australia and Japan, according to its sub-processor list. Customers in the EU/EEA are processed in the EU and Canada, while customers outside the EU/EEA are processed in the USA, Australia and Japan. Customers cannot choose region, since the sources do not state that option. Support runs on Zendesk hosted in the EU, email notifications go through SendGrid hosted in the EU, and AI features use Microsoft Azure, described as 'based in Europe' without a stated country or transfer basis. Identity and SSO sit in a sub-processor-based setup not located in the sources, and backup location is not stated.
