We process personal data strictly in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and based on clearly defined legal and organizational requirements.
Roles & Responsibilities
awork processes personal data within clearly defined roles:
awork acts as a data processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR for customer data.

Data protection–related decisions and processes are formally defined, documented, and embedded within our organization.

Hosting of the awork platform exclusively in Germany
Use of a dedicated Microsoft Azure Germany tenant, fully controlled by awork
