Where does Mixpanel store EU data — and who can touch it?
Mixpanel offers EU data residency, and relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework plus SCCs for transfers.
Mixpanel offers EU data residency per project — selected when creating a project and using EU ingestion/query endpoints — with the choice fixed at creation. It relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework plus SCCs, and the DPA is self-serve.
EU data residency
Can you keep data in the EU?
EU data residency is enabled by selecting the EU Data Residency option when creating a new project and sending data to the EU endpoints (api-eu.mixpanel.com for ingestion, eu.mixpanel.com for queries). It is set per project at creation and cannot be migrated afterwards — for EU projects created on/after 18 Aug 2025, no data is ingested unless the SDK targets the EU endpoint.
Transfer mechanism
Mixpanel relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension and the Swiss-US DPF for transfers to the US, and incorporates the SCC modules plus UK and Swiss addenda into its DPA.
Sub-processors
Who else processes your data?
Mixpanel publishes a dated sub-processor list (~13 entities including AWS, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Snowflake, Atlassian, HubSpot, Zendesk and Mixpanel's own international affiliate). The list is the source of current names; a customer-facing fixed advance-notice period is not stated on the list page. current sub-processor list ↗
Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
Does Mixpanel sign a DPA?
The DPA is incorporated into and forms part of the customer agreement with no separate signature, and is not gated by plan tier. DPA ↗
What the trust-badge pages don't tell you
EU residency must be set when the project is created AND the SDK must point at the EU endpoint — a US project can't be migrated, and a mis-pointed SDK silently drops data on newer EU projects. Configure ingestion and project region together.
