Backend workflow data storing

Questions

Hey Bubblers !
Quick question :
Here is my use case :
As many bubblers in Europe, I am considering building with an external backend and use Bubble as the frontend only.
The goal is to have personnal user infos stored in a Eu server, and provide more confidence to user regarding GDPR.

But, I am currently considering sending api request from the backend to Bubble, to process specific scheduled workflows (mainly scheduled email). Because no-code backend solutions doesn’t provide an easy way to implement it, at least it is way more complex than in Bubble.

Si my question is : How datas are saved and stored to process scheduled workflow in Bubble, and how would it be considered regarding GDPR ?
I mean, I will send API request to bubble, pass the value (with personnal infos like email) to set scheduled workflows. The data will not be stored in my bubble database (at least the one you built to create an app).
But the data would have to be store somewhere on bubble’s side right ? So is it a usecase where we should consider that personnal infos are transferred and stored to another country ?

Don’t know if it’s clear because it is not for me :smiley:
Hope someone could help

Many thanks

Hi,
I have absolutely no technical knowledge to help here, but wanted to ask if this is a common problem regarding GDPR? Obviously it sounds it from your experience.
Which countries are you looking at working with?

Hi
I am not a law specialist, but I would say
Transferring datas and/or store personnal datas to the US required to take specific actions to be GDPR compliant.
Even if it’s possible and Bubble provides anything to be compliant, it sounds like a real mess and lot of wasting time in my case, as I am just starting a new business and building an MVP.

That said, if using an external database which stores datas in EU, and processing workflows through Bubble’s schedule workflows, I don’t know how data would be store on bubble side…
