What does Sprig do with personal data?
Measure website or service usage and understand visitor interactions. That is how Privacyboard describes a typical use of Sprig, as a starting point you can edit.
The data usually involved: usage events, device and browser information, user identifiers and IP addresses where collected.
Is Sprig a processor or a controller?
Most customers use Sprig as a processor: it handles personal data on their instructions, for the purposes they set. That is the common reading for analytics 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 Sprig store personal data?
Sprig 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: Look at the address you log in to or your project settings.
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.
Which legal basis usually applies to Sprig?
For the usual use of Sprig, companies most often rely on consent (GDPR Article 6(1)). Analytics that read or write identifiers on the visitor’s device need consent, under the ePrivacy rules as well as the GDPR.
Some anonymous audience measurement tools can run without consent in France when the CNIL’s conditions are met (own purposes only, anonymous statistics, no cross-site tracking).
This is a starting point, not legal advice: the basis belongs to your activity, and you confirm it in your register.

Does Sprig have a data processing agreement?
Checked on 5 November 2026. Vendors change their pages, so check the date.
Yes. Sprig 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 Processing Addendum effective 19 May 2025, with a Data Transfer Addendum (19 Jan 2026) using EU SCCs Module Two and UK clauses. Parties Company and Sprig; data may be stored in or accessed from the US.
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.
