GDPR CRM for EU businesses
Lyto Pipeline is a GDPR-native CRM for EU businesses: it is built and hosted in the European Union, run by a European company rather than a US one, and handles personal data under EU rules by default. It ships in one suite with invoicing, projects and support — one shared customer record, one login — from €10 per seat per month billed annually, all seven apps included.

Lyto vs the usual separate-tools setup
| Lyto · Pipeline | The usual way | |
|---|---|---|
| Where data is hosted | In the EU, run by a European company | Often on US-owned infrastructure subject to the CLOUD Act |
| Copies of personal data | One shared customer record across the suite | The same person duplicated across separate vendors |
| GDPR posture | EU rules as the default, not a bolted-on region setting | Compliance configured per tool, per vendor |
| Data-processing scope | One processor for the CRM, invoicing, support and more | A separate DPA to sign and track with each vendor |
| Cost for five people | €50 / month billed annually — all seven apps | Several per-seat subscriptions, each its own vendor |

Why “which CRM” is also “whose jurisdiction”
For an EU business, choosing a CRM is not only a features question — it is a data question. Most of the best-known CRMs are headquartered in the United States, which means the company behind your customer data, wherever the servers sit, can fall under US law such as the CLOUD Act. That does not make those tools unusable, but it does make compliance more work: more to document, more to justify in a data-protection assessment, more that sits outside EU jurisdiction.
The problem compounds with every extra tool. The CRM holds your customers. The invoicing app holds them again. The support inbox holds them a third time. Each is a separate vendor, a separate processor, and a separate data-processing agreement — three copies of the same people to keep secure, keep in sync, and delete from when someone exercises their rights.
What Lyto does differently
Pipeline is the CRM inside Lyto, and its data-protection story comes from two choices:
- Built and hosted in the EU, by a European company. Your customer data is not held by a US-parented vendor subject to the CLOUD Act.
- One shared customer record. A person exists once across the CRM, invoicing, support and time tracking — one processor, one copy — instead of being duplicated across separate vendors.
Fewer processors and fewer copies is less to document, less to secure, and less to chase down when a deletion request arrives.
An honest word on compliance
No tool can make you GDPR-compliant by itself — compliance depends on how you configure access, what you collect, and the agreements you keep. Lyto is not a substitute for your own data-protection work, and this page is not legal advice. What Lyto offers is a starting posture that works with EU rules rather than against them: EU hosting, a European provider, and one record instead of many.
What it costs
A five-person EU business is €50 per month billed annually — €10 per seat — for all seven apps on one bill. The 14-day trial takes a card up front, which we state at every sign-up button, and cancels in one click.
Questions people ask
What makes a CRM GDPR-compliant for an EU business?
GDPR compliance depends on how personal data is stored, processed and transferred, and on the agreements with your vendors — no tool makes you automatically compliant on its own. Lyto helps by being built and hosted in the EU, run by a European company, and keeping one shared customer record instead of scattering personal data across several vendors, which leaves fewer processors and copies for you to account for.
Is Lyto hosted in the EU?
Yes. Lyto is built and hosted in the European Union and run by a European company, not a US one — so customer data is not held on infrastructure whose parent is subject to the US CLOUD Act. For an EU business, that keeps the CRM, invoicing and support data within EU jurisdiction under one provider rather than several.
How does one shared record help with data protection?
Every separate tool that holds your customers is another copy of personal data, another processor and another data-processing agreement to manage. Because Lyto keeps one shared customer record across the CRM, invoicing, support and time tracking, a person exists once under one EU processor — fewer copies to secure, honour deletion requests against, and account for.
