EU, GDPR and data location
Formcarry says all its data is stored in the EEA. Its operator is a US company, and its listed sub-processors include providers headquartered in the US. Whether that matters depends on how your organisation weighs a US parent when the servers are in Europe.
Formward stores and processes form submissions in the EU: the application and database run at Hostup AB in Sweden, notification email goes out through Mailjet in the EU, and AI features on Professional and Business use Mistral AI in France. One optional sub-processor is outside the EU: Cloudflare Turnstile (US), which only sees the anti-bot challenge and only on forms where you enable it. Data leaves the EU when you send it there yourself, for example to a notification mailbox hosted by a US provider, a Google Sheets sync or a webhook URL.
The details are in Formward's sub-processor register, the DPA (accepted in the dashboard) and the transfer-impact statement.

Questions
- Formcarry also stores data in the EU. What is different?
- Ownership and depth of the GDPR tooling. Formward is operated by a Swedish company on a Swedish hosting provider, and ships consent proof, a DSAR console, hashed submitter IPs and a link-only notification mode.
- Does Formward support file uploads and integrations?
- Yes. File uploads start on Professional, and webhooks (including Slack, Discord, Teams and Mattermost), Google Sheets and Baserow sync and the REST API start on Professional.
- How does Formward handle submitter IP addresses?
- Formward hashes each submitter IP with a keyed HMAC-SHA-256 as the request arrives and never stores the raw address. The hash is used for rate limiting and abuse protection, not for tracking.
- How much does Formward cost?
- Formward has a free plan with 50 submissions a month. Paid plans are EUR 15 a month (Personal, 200 submissions), EUR 30 (Professional, 2,000) and EUR 90 (Business, 20,000). Paying yearly brings those down to EUR 10, 20 and 60 a month.
