Document collaboration services
Collaborative document editing from Germany
GermanyEUFree plan Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Nuclino is a collaborative document editing service from Germany. Teams write and organise their notes, documentation and knowledge base in it together, with everyone able to edit the same item, so information stays in one searchable place instead of scattered across files and chat messages.
The company is German and works under EU data protection rules, which makes Nuclino a European alternative to the American wiki and documentation tools. It suits small teams and startups that want a lightweight internal knowledge base without a long setup.
The free plan includes 50 items. There is one paid plan at 5 euro per user per month.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
This public website route ends on Amazon Web Services, whose European seller is wholly owned by Amazon.com, Inc. An EU region can provide European data residency but remains under US ultimate ownership. DNS does not reveal the AWS region, the core service's host, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
