Data Sovereignty

Process automation without cloud risks.

Zapier and Make are easy, but they send your sensitive customer data to US servers and charge high monthly fees. **With self-hosted n8n, you keep full control.** We install n8n on your own server in Germany, integrate your CRMs, databases, and calendars GDPR-compliantly, and write custom JavaScript/Python code for your workflows when needed.

FAQ · Frequently Asked

Questions on n8n Automation.

Answers to the most important questions about GDPR-compliant and cost-effective workflows with n8n.

What are the advantages of self-hosted n8n over Zapier or Make?
n8n is an open-source platform. When you self-host n8n, you do not pay usage-based license fees per executed task, only low server costs. In addition, all your sensitive customer data remains within your own infrastructure (e.g., on servers in Germany) instead of being transferred to the US. This makes n8n 100% GDPR-compliant and extremely cost-effective.
Is n8n as powerful as Zapier?
n8n is more powerful in many aspects. Along with hundreds of pre-built integrations (nodes), n8n allows you to inject custom JavaScript or Python code directly into workflows. Furthermore, n8n supports complex loops, conditions, data manipulation, and local AI integrations without requiring expensive premium tiers.
Where are my data stored in an n8n installation?
The data is stored on your own server, which we set up for you (e.g., at Hetzner in Frankfurt, Germany). You have full physical and legal control over your databases, logs, and credentials. There is no uncontrolled third-country data transfer.
Can I integrate n8n with my existing systems?
Yes, absolutely. n8n has native connectors for hundreds of popular tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Trello, Google Workspace, Slack, Mailchimp, and SQL databases. For systems without a pre-built connector, we can integrate any REST API or webhook interface within minutes.
Who handles maintenance and updates of my n8n server?
We offer optional maintenance and support packages (SLAs). We manage server monitoring, security updates, backups, and workflow troubleshooting (e.g., if a third-party API changes). You can fully focus on your business.
