A German company
fortrabbit is a GmbH registered in Berlin, Germany. The contracting party is a German company, and contracts are governed by German and European law.
Here for the long run
fortrabbit has operated since 2012, owned and run by the same independent German company. We grow slowly and on our own terms, and we plan to be here for the long run.
GDPR
The data processing agreement (DPA) is part of the terms of service and applies automatically. It covers personal data processed on the platform and meets GDPR requirements.
Regions
Each app runs in the data center region chosen when it is created. The EU region is in Ireland: an app placed there runs, together with its database, in the EU. A US region is also available. Account and billing data is stored in Ireland.
Sub-processors
We choose sub-processors carefully and keep the list as short as possible. The ones that remain are needed to run the platform — payment, support chat, transactional e-mail, error monitoring. Every sub-processor is listed and assessed for GDPR compliance.
Infrastructure
fortrabbit is a public cloud. We develop software to run hosting, but do not own the infra, which runs on Amazon Web Services. What fortrabbit provides is a German contracting party, GDPR terms by default, an EU region for the app, and a public list of every sub-processor.
A managed platform
The platform is run by people, not left to autopilot — patched, monitored and staffed on call. We secure the infrastructure and the stack; securing the application on top stays with its developer.
