What does Weebly do with personal data?
Host business websites, online services or other company systems. That is how Privacyboard describes a typical use of Weebly, as a starting point you can edit.
The data usually involved: website or service content, account identifiers, IP addresses and server logs where applicable.
Is Weebly a processor or a controller?
Most customers use Weebly as a processor: it handles personal data on their instructions, for the purposes they set. That is the common reading for hosting 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 Weebly store personal data?
Weebly 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 Weebly’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 Weebly have a data processing agreement?
Checked on 1 November 2026. Vendors change their pages, so check the date.
Yes. Weebly 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 Terms, posted 15 August 2018, no later update date shown. Contracting Square entity varies by customer country of residence (e.g. Squareup International Ltd for UK/other). 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.
