Google Meet offers EU data storage only on more expensive business plans, but the vendor is based outside the EU and may be covered by third-country legislation (for US companies: the CLOUD Act) regardless of server location. For non-sensitive data this is rarely a problem, but for customer data you should weigh the risk.

What is needed to use Google Meet in a GDPR-safe way?
Sign a data processing agreement (DPA) if the tool processes personal data on your behalf, minimise the personal data you feed in, and check the vendor's sub-processors. See our DPA guide for the steps.
Our assessment is based on verified data about vendor, storage and certifications (2026). GDPR compliance also depends on how you use the tool. This is guidance, not legal advice. See How we review.
