Online event company - but hosted in UK

Random question, companies like Eventbrite allows you to create events online and will allow organisers to use them to book tickets etc.

The problem with Eventbrite is that the attendees signing up through them, their data is held on US servers.

Does anyone know of a similar company, but where the data is held on UK servers?

The issue comes down to GDPR etc and the companies requirement for data to be held within UK.

Thanks all.

Streamrooms - ta for that, i'll pass it on.

We've had it from up high that the data must be on UK only servers. Too many companies say they are GDPR compliant, but then the data is held in the US, Europe and in some cases China etc.

Speaking to a GDPR guy, eventbrite etc can host wherever you want, at a cost - it's a case of engaging with them direct.

Ta all.

Trybooking.com might be worth a look

Purely anecdotal but the civil service use eventbrite for lots of even bookings. We are very over cautious when it comes to security so I imagine they are pretty secure with data.

Mmmmmm, similar 'company' i work for. I will bring that up actually.
