What does Celigo do with personal data?
Automate workflows and transfer selected records between connected applications. That is how Privacyboard describes a typical use of Celigo, as a starting point you can edit.
The data usually involved: security & access logs, Personal data included in configured workflow inputs, outputs
Is Celigo a processor or a controller?
Most customers use Celigo as a processor: it handles personal data on their instructions, for the purposes they set. That is the common reading for automation tools and it is what Privacyboard suggests.
As a processor, it needs a written agreement with you under Article 28, and you should know which subprocessors it uses. Confirm the role against your own agreement, because the way you use a tool can change it.
Where does Celigo store personal data?
Celigo is usually associated with Customer choice: US or Germany, but the location can depend on your plan or settings. Privacyboard prefills it as a starting point that you should check in your account.

How to find yours: Check your account settings, the address you log in to, or the provider’s data processing terms. Support can tell you if you cannot find it.
If the data is processed outside the European Economic Area, Articles 44 to 49 require a transfer mechanism, such as standard contractual clauses, an adequacy decision or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Your privacy policy should name it.
Which legal basis usually applies to Celigo?
The legal basis for Celigo depends on what goes through it. The legal basis depends on the data and the activity the workflow supports. Use the basis of that activity in your register.
This is a starting point, not legal advice: the basis belongs to your activity, and you confirm it in your register.
Does Celigo have a data processing agreement?
Checked on 5 November 2026. Vendors change their pages, so check the date.
Yes. Celigo publishes the text of its data processing agreement on its own website. Article 28 of the GDPR requires a written contract with every processor, so this is the document to read and keep.
What we noted when we opened the page: Global Processing Addendum (undated). Contracting entity Celigo, Inc. Data hosted in the customer-selected regional data centre (US or Germany); DPF self-certification, then EU SCCs, UK IDTA and Swiss terms.
A page that exists does not mean you are covered. Whether the agreement applies to you depends on your plan and on what you accepted, so record the decision yourself in your vendor list.
