What does MemberSpace do with personal data?
Authenticate users and manage application sessions and access. That is how Privacyboard describes a typical use of MemberSpace, as a starting point you can edit.
The data usually involved: names, email addresses, user identifiers, IP addresses and authentication logs.
Is MemberSpace a processor or a controller?
Most customers use MemberSpace as a processor: it handles personal data on their instructions, for the purposes they set. That is the common reading for authentication 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 MemberSpace store personal data?
MemberSpace does not have one fixed location for every customer. The location depends on the plan, the account and the services you enable.
How to find yours: Check your account settings or MemberSpace’s data processing terms for where your data is stored.
Even when the main location is in the EU, ask whether subprocessors or support access involve a transfer outside the EEA, and record it if so.
Does MemberSpace have a data processing agreement?
Checked on 1 November 2026. Vendors change their pages, so check the date.
MemberSpace does not publish the full text of its data processing agreement on a public page. The reference page explains how a customer gets or signs it, usually from inside the account. Article 28 of the GDPR still requires a written contract, so get it and keep a copy.
What we noted when we opened the page: MemberSpace privacy section page where customers download its Data Processing Agreement; page metadata shows a last modification of 8 Dec 2022. Contracting entity and hosting location are not stated on the page.
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.

What to check before relying on MemberSpace
- Confirm where user records are stored and whether you can choose the region.

- Keep the provider in your privacy policy as a recipient of account data.
- Review the provider’s security documentation for the controls you rely on.
Questions, answered.
Is MemberSpace GDPR compliant?
Privacyboard does not certify vendors. Compliance depends on how MemberSpace is configured and used, on the agreement you have with it and on your own practices. What can be checked is documented here: it explains how to get a data processing agreement, the usual role and the data location. Read the agreement itself before relying on it.
Does MemberSpace have a DPA?
MemberSpace does not publish the full text of its data processing agreement on a public page. The reference page explains how a customer gets or signs it, usually from inside the account. Article 28 of the GDPR still requires a written contract, so get it and keep a copy. The reference page is https://www.memberspace.com/privacy/dpa/.
