Why choose Secure Privacy over TrustArc?

The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. TrustArc is headquartered in US, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes — the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.

Secure Privacy removes that overhead. As a Denmark-based provider, it operates natively under GDPR, and data stays inside the EU/EEA by default. For regulated sectors — health, public administration, finance — that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single non-EU jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.

Frequently asked questions

Is Secure Privacy a good alternative to TrustArc?
Yes — Secure Privacy is one of the top-ranked European alternatives to TrustArc in our directory, covering the same security & identity use case. It is headquartered in Denmark, keeping your data under EU law by default.
What's the main difference between Secure Privacy and TrustArc?
The biggest difference is jurisdiction: Secure Privacy is based in Denmark and operates under GDPR and EU data-protection law, while TrustArc is headquartered in US and may transfer data outside the EU. For regulated industries or organisations following Schrems II guidance, this difference is decisive.
Is Secure Privacy GDPR-compliant?
Secure Privacy is a European company based in Denmark, so GDPR compliance is the default operating model — not a bolt-on. No transfer impact assessment is required for EU customers, unlike when using TrustArc.
How do I migrate from TrustArc to Secure Privacy?
Start by exporting your data from TrustArc (most providers offer an export in their settings). Then import into Secure Privacy using its native import tool or migration guide. Running both in parallel for a week catches any feature or workflow gaps before you fully switch.
