Where is event attendee data hosted?

Hosting choice is a key compliance criterion: attendees' personal data must remain in a jurisdiction offering adequate protection. At Digitevent, all data is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), in data centers located in France with redundancy in the European Union. No data is transferred outside the EU. AWS data centers are themselves certified ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS.

How is event attendee data protected?

A secure event platform must encrypt data at every level: in transit (HTTPS / TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Passwords must be hashed with robust algorithms and never stored in plain text. Digitevent applies all of these standards. Backups are also encrypted and stored in isolated environments, and encryption keys undergo regular rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every organizer must ensure participant consent, data traceability, and respect for rights of access, rectification, and erasure. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with your event platform is essential. Digitevent has natively integrated these mechanisms since 2017: granular consent management, processing records, dedicated DPO, and available DPA. You remain the sole owner of all collected data, which is never sold or shared with third parties.

ISO 27001 certification is the international benchmark for information security: it guarantees that the vendor applies a security management system that is audited and continuously improved. Regular penetration testing by independent auditors and data encryption (TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest) are also essential. Digitevent holds ISO 27001 certification, audited annually, and submits its infrastructure to regular external pentests.

The GDPR requires notification of any data breach to the competent authority within 72 hours and informing affected individuals as soon as possible. Your platform must therefore have a documented and tested incident response procedure. Digitevent ensures continuous monitoring of its infrastructure, notifies clients within regulatory deadlines, and conducts a post-mortem after each incident to prevent recurrence.

This is a major point of vigilance. Since the invalidation of the Privacy Shield (Schrems II ruling), any data transfer to the United States requires additional safeguards (standard contractual clauses, transfer impact assessment). Using European hosting significantly simplifies compliance. Digitevent hosts 100% of data in France and the EU, eliminating risks associated with transatlantic transfers.
