YourPaz is the calm AI workspace for overloaded professionals in Europe. It captures everything on your mind, plans your day with an AI daily briefing, and quietly helps you finish the week. Tasks, notes, projects, focus mode, email triage and meeting AI all live in one place. EU-hosted, GDPR by design, built for individuals — not enterprise teams.

How much does YourPaz cost?

YourPaz has three plans. Free is forever and covers tasks, notes, calendar and projects. Premium is €9/month (or €7.50/month billed annually) and adds the AI daily briefing, focus mode, email triage and unlimited workspaces. Pro is €15/month (or €12.50/month billed annually) and adds AI coaching, meeting AI summaries, time tracking, smart replies and a weekly review. Both paid plans include a 14-day trial — only a €0.01 iDEAL verification is charged and refunded immediately.

Where is my data stored?

Entirely in the European Union, on infrastructure that never replicates outside the EU. YourPaz is operated by a Dutch company under GDPR. Your content is never used to train third-party AI models, and a Data Processing Agreement is available on request.

YourPaz is built for busy professionals, entrepreneurs, consultants and people carrying serious mental overload — anyone who wants calm, clarity and follow-through without piling on more tools. It is deliberately not built for engineering teams shipping software, marketing teams running campaigns, or anyone looking for a 200-integration enterprise platform.

How does YourPaz compare to Notion, Todoist, Sunsama and Motion?

Notion is a blank canvas you have to design first. Todoist is a pure list. Sunsama is a daily planning ritual. Motion is automatic AI scheduling. YourPaz is the calm execution layer that ties tasks, notes, focus, email and AI briefings into one place — and the only one of those tools hosted entirely in the European Union.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Both Premium and Pro come with a 14-day trial. To prevent abuse we charge a €0.01 verification through iDEAL when you start, which is refunded immediately. No credit card is needed and you can cancel from your settings in one click before the trial ends — you will not be charged anything else.

Which languages does YourPaz support?

YourPaz is fully available in Dutch, English, German and French — including the AI daily briefing, email triage, and meeting summaries.

Why your productivity data belongs in Europe — and how to check

Name: YourPaz
Author: YourPaz

The data you share with productivity tools is more sensitive than you think

When you sign up for a productivity tool, you're not just giving it your email address. Over time, you share:

The projects you're working on and for which clients
Your calendar — every meeting, every appointment, every personal slot
Your notes — drafts, decisions, strategies, personal reflections
Your task list — deadlines, commitments, what's blocking you
Your inbox — emails triage tools read to summarise and sort

For knowledge workers, entrepreneurs, and consultants, this is effectively a map of your professional life. Where you spend time, what you care about, who you're talking to, what you're behind on.

Most people sign up for a productivity app, tick the "I agree" checkbox, and never think about where any of this goes.

Where does it go?

The majority of popular productivity tools are US companies: Notion (San Francisco), Todoist (Stockholm, but AWS in the US), Asana (San Francisco), ClickUp (San Diego), Motion (San Francisco), Sunsama (San Francisco).

When a US company stores your data, it falls under US law — including the CLOUD Act (2018), which allows US law enforcement to compel access to data stored by US companies regardless of where those servers are physically located. In practice, this means data stored by a US company on European servers can still be accessed by US authorities.

For most users in non-sensitive roles, this is an abstract risk. For consultants, legal professionals, HR managers, executives or anyone handling commercially sensitive information, it's a concrete compliance question that their clients may well ask about.

What "EU-hosted" actually means

There's a difference between:

A US company with European servers — your data is in Europe physically, but the company is US-based and subject to US law (including the CLOUD Act). Think: Notion, many Atlassian products.
A European company with European servers — the company is incorporated in the EU, subject to EU law, and the data infrastructure is entirely within the EU. This is what "EU-hosted" meaningfully means.

For full GDPR coverage, you want the second category.

What GDPR by design means in practice

"GDPR compliant" has become a marketing checkbox that means almost nothing on its own — it usually just means "we have a privacy policy and a DPA."

GDPR by design means something more specific:

Data minimisation: the app only collects what it genuinely needs
Purpose limitation: your data is only used for the service, not resold, not used to train third-party AI models
Storage limitation: data is not kept longer than necessary
Security: encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, breach notification
Data subject rights: you can export or delete your data at any time, easily

The practical test: can you export everything and delete your account in under five minutes? Can you get a Data Processing Agreement signed? Is the privacy policy written in plain language?

The AI training question

The most important GDPR question for AI-powered productivity tools is this: is my content used to train AI models?

Many US-based AI tools have terms of service that grant them a broad licence to use your content for "improving the service." In practice, this can mean your tasks, notes, and email summaries are fed into model training pipelines.

For European users, this intersects with GDPR: training on user content without explicit consent is legally questionable. But more importantly — do you want your client project notes, your strategic decisions, or your salary discussions in a dataset somewhere?

The answer for most professionals: no.

How to evaluate any productivity tool on privacy

Before you sign up, check these five things:

1. Where is the company incorporated? EU company → EU law applies. US company → CLOUD Act risk exists regardless of server location.

2. Where are the servers? EU infrastructure (AWS Frankfurt, Hetzner, OVH, etc.) is necessary but not sufficient.

3. Is your content used for AI training? Search the ToS for "improve our services", "train", "machine learning". If it's vague, ask directly.

4. Can you get a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)? If you're using the tool for business purposes and process personal data (client names, emails), a DPA is legally required under GDPR. If the company won't provide one, that's a red flag.

5. How easy is data export and deletion? Export: can you get everything out in a standard format? Deletion: is it a one-click action or a 30-day support ticket?

How YourPaz handles this

YourPaz is operated by a Dutch company. The data infrastructure runs entirely within the EU — no cross-border replication, no US cloud providers.

On the AI pipeline: YourPaz uses Mistral AI (France) as its primary LLM provider. Mistral is a French company under EU law. YourPaz also supports a "Privacy Max" mode that forces all AI processing through a local Ollama instance — meaning no data ever leaves your network.

Your content is never used to train AI models. A Data Processing Agreement is available on request.

Data export is a single action in Settings → Data → Export. Account deletion removes all data immediately.

The business case for European professionals

If you're a consultant, freelancer, or knowledge worker in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, or France:

Your clients may already require GDPR-compliant tooling in contracts
Your professional liability might depend on how you handle client data
EU regulators have been increasingly active in enforcing data localisation requirements

Choosing EU-hosted tools isn't just a privacy preference — increasingly, it's a professional obligation.
