What does Perimeter 81 do with personal data?
Manage team credentials and protect access to business systems. That is how Privacyboard describes a typical use of Perimeter 81, as a starting point you can edit.
The data usually involved: team member names, email addresses, access logs and information stored in the credential vault.
Is Perimeter 81 a processor or a controller?
Most customers use Perimeter 81 as a processor: it handles personal data on their instructions, for the purposes they set. That is the common reading for security 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 Perimeter 81 store personal data?
Perimeter 81 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, the address you log in to, or the provider’s data processing terms. Support can tell you if you cannot find it.
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 Perimeter 81 have a data processing agreement?
Checked on 1 November 2026. Vendors change their pages, so check the date.
Yes. Perimeter 81 publishes the text of its data processing agreement as a PDF 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: Data Processing Agreement/Addendum for Perimeter 81 Ltd., supplementing its service terms. No single hosting region specified in the reviewed text.
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.
