Is Collaboard GDPR-safe?
Yes, with the usual caveats
Collaboard has good conditions: the vendor is based in a country with an EU adequacy decision (GDPR Art. 45), and data is stored inside the EU. GDPR safety then depends mainly on how you use the tool: sign a data processing agreement (DPA) and do not feed in more personal data than necessary.
