What does Teamleader do with personal data?
Manage prospect and customer relationships and sales activities. That is how Privacyboard describes a typical use of Teamleader, as a starting point you can edit.
The data usually involved: business contact names, email addresses, company details and sales communications.
Is Teamleader a processor or a controller?
Most customers use Teamleader as a processor: it handles personal data on their instructions, for the purposes they set. That is the common reading for crm 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 Teamleader store personal data?
Teamleader is usually associated with the European Union, 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 or Teamleader’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 Teamleader have a data processing agreement?
Checked on 1 November 2026. Vendors change their pages, so check the date.
Yes. Teamleader 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 Agreement for Teamleader Focus, annexed to the Terms of Service; the document reference suggests Feb 2024. Provider named only as Teamleader (Visma Group). States servers are in AWS data centers in Ireland.
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.
