Is Kapwing GDPR-compliant?
Behind it is a small San Francisco company, so your footage is processed on US soil. For a US company, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework covers transfers only if Kapwing is certified under it; otherwise they need standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment, and US laws such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data either way.
