What does Remo do with personal data?
Conduct remote meetings and customer or team calls. That is how Privacyboard describes a typical use of Remo, as a starting point you can edit.
The data usually involved: participant names, email addresses, meeting metadata, audio, video and recordings when enabled.
Is Remo a processor or a controller?
Most customers use Remo as a processor: it handles personal data on their instructions, for the purposes they set. That is the common reading for video conferencing 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 Remo store personal data?
Remo 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 Remo have a data processing agreement?
Checked on 1 November 2026. Vendors change their pages, so check the date.
Yes. Remo 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: Data Protection Addendum effective November 5, 2020, for Remo USA, Inc. No hosting location stated.
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.
