Why this matters for digital sovereignty
Project management tools hold schedules, documents and team communication that often include confidential business information and personal data, so GDPR and the storage location matter. When choosing a vendor, check EU hosting including backups and support access, the vendor's ultimate owner, and how easily project data can be exported.
