Is KI BMS subject to the CLOUD Act?

No. The CLOUD Act compels US-based companies (or US subsidiaries) to hand over data they control, regardless of where it physically lives. KI BMS has no US entity, no US contracts, and no US-controlled infrastructure in the data plane. Stripe processes payment data and is US-headquartered, but that boundary is well-defined: payment metadata only, never your records.

Where exactly is my data stored?

On dedicated servers we operate ourselves, physically located in Germany. The audit log, attachments, embeddings - everything in the data plane - lives there. Backups stay within the same EU jurisdiction in different physical locations and roll off on a 30-day window. We deliberately do not name the exact data centre - knowing the rack does not buy the customer anything and would make operator changes a public event.

Do you log IPs or session metadata to a US service?

No third-party analytics, no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no third-country tag manager. The first-party device + session ledger lives in our own Postgres + Redis - same EU boundary as the rest of the data plane. Logs are operational only and rotate at 30 days.

What happens if I'm a customer outside the EU?

You can use KI BMS from anywhere. The data still lives in the EU; the request travels from your location to our servers and back. That's a posture choice on our side, not a geo-restriction on yours.

If your reason for moving off BITE BeeSite is data sovereignty, the comparison gets simpler. KI BMS is hosted in Germany on infrastructure we operate ourselves - no US-headquartered company in the request path. The CLOUD Act does not reach what physically lives here.

At a glance

BITE BeeSite is right for large employers and corporations with complex recruiting structures: many departments, multi-stage approvals, demanding careers pages with high brand standards, deep integrations into SAP and HR landscapes. We deliberately don't have that enterprise depth. KI BMS is right for teams up to ~100 people who want KI pre-sort with reasoning as a default, value public prices and want to be productive in hours rather than in a rollout project. These are different weight classes - if you run corporate recruiting, look at BITE; if you hire lean, you're better served with us.

EU jurisdiction

What 'EU-hosted' actually means here, end to end

KI BMS runs on dedicated machines we operate ourselves, physically located in Germany. There is no US-headquartered subprocessor in the request path - the data plane (your records, your files, your audit log) lives entirely in EU jurisdiction. Two third parties exist outside that boundary: Stripe (payment information only, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) and the mail relay for transactional email. Neither sees your records. BITE BeeSite's setup is the variable - if their primary infra is US-based, the CLOUD Act applies regardless of what their privacy page claims.

When to pick which

Pick KI BMS when

You're a team up to ~100 people and don't need corporate approval hierarchies but a fast, lean pipeline.

KI pre-sort with reasoning as a default is your central lever, not a slowly rolled-out enterprise feature.

Public prices, monthly cancellation and a setup in one morning matter more to you than maximum feature scope.

Pick BITE BeeSite when

You're a large enterprise or corporation with many departments and multi-stage approval workflows.

You need deep integrations into your SAP or HR landscape that a lean tool can't deliver.

Demanding, brand-driven careers pages with enterprise requirements are a must-have criterion.
