The European Status Page Alternative
A privacy-first status page built in Europe and hosted in the EU, for teams that care about data residency, GDPR compliance, and transparent incident communication.
Why European Teams Choose Us
- EU data residency — All data stored and processed in Germany (EU), on European-owned infrastructure
- GDPR-compliant by design — Built from the ground up around European privacy principles
- No US-owned cloud dependency — Your application data never leaves the EU
- Zero third-party tracking — No Google Analytics, no Facebook pixels, no ad networks
- Transparent pricing in EUR — Simple plans, no hidden fees, no per-seat pricing traps
- Independent & bootstrapped — No VC funding, no pressure to sell your data
EU Data Residency
Many popular status page providers are US-based companies that store and process data in the United States. For European businesses, this creates compliance challenges around GDPR, Schrems II, and data sovereignty.
StatusPage.me is different:
Server Location
Our primary server is located in Germany 🇩🇪, within the EU.
Data Storage
All customer data — databases, backups, monitoring data — stays within the EU.
No Transatlantic Transfers
Your application data is stored and processed entirely within the EU. The only exception is payment processing, handled by our Merchant of Record (see Subprocessors).
European Infrastructure
Hosted on European infrastructure, not on US hyperscalers subject to CLOUD Act or FISA 702 requests.
Privacy-First Approach
We don't just comply with GDPR — we embrace it as a design principle.
Minimal Cookies
Only essential authentication cookies. No tracking cookies, no cookie consent banner needed for third-party analytics.
IP Hashing
IP addresses are SHA256-hashed before storage. We never store raw IPs in our application database.
Auto-Deletion
Account data is automatically purged 60–90 days after closure. No data hoarding.

Who We Are
StatusPage.me is operated by a small, independent team based in Serbia 🇷🇸, with all infrastructure hosted in Germany 🇩🇪.
We are bootstrapped — not funded by venture capital. This means we answer to our customers, not investors. There is no pressure to grow at all costs, harvest data, or sell the company to a US acquirer.
Our business model is straightforward: we build a great product and charge a fair price for it. Your data is not our product.
Compliance & Legal
GDPR
Full GDPR compliance including data minimization, right to erasure, data portability, and lawful processing.
Data Processing Agreement
We offer a DPA for customers who need one for their compliance requirements.
Sub-processors
We maintain a transparent list of sub-processors. We minimize the number of third parties that touch your data.
Security Practices
Encryption at rest and in transit, regular backups, audit logging, and more. See our Security page.
