GDPR & Code Hosting

Source code repositories contain far more than just code. Commit histories include developer names and email addresses, issue trackers store bug reports that may reference customer data, pull request discussions contain team member identities and technical decisions, and repositories often include configuration files with credentials or customer-specific logic. Under GDPR, developer personal data in commit histories and the potential for customer data in issues and configs makes code hosting a data protection concern. Beyond personal data, source code is often the most valuable intellectual property in a software business. When hosted on US-based platforms, your proprietary code is subject to US jurisdiction. European code hosting providers store your repositories, issues, and development workflows entirely within the EU, protecting both the personal data of your development team and the sovereignty of your intellectual property.

Data Protection in Germany

Code Hosting data hosted in Germany is protected under Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG), which implements the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This ensures your code hosting data stays under European jurisdiction and cannot be compelled for disclosure under non-EU law.
