GDPR isn't a checkbox - it's a posture. If you're moving off d.vinci because their AVV / DPA is opaque, KI BMS is what a clean alternative looks like: subprocessor list of two (Stripe + mail relay), self-serve export + delete from account settings, and a standard German GDPR DPA on request when your procurement team needs one.

At a glance

d.vinci is right for German corporates and large mid-markets from 250 staff that want an established ATS with deep approval workflows, multi-level permissions, and long market presence. KI BMS is right for modern mid-markets up to 100 staff that want KI pre-sort as a default, value monthly contracts, and don't want a 6-month implementation process. Both are German-centric, both understand GDPR - they target different generations of buyers.

GDPR posture

GDPR is a posture, not a checkbox

Three things matter under GDPR for a tool like this: (1) lawful basis for processing, (2) data subject rights (export, delete, port), and (3) the auftragsverarbeitungs­vertrag / DPA chain. KI BMS treats them as engineering invariants, not legal optics. Lawful basis is the contract you sign with us. Subject rights are self-serve from your account settings - no support ticket required. The subprocessor list has two entries (Stripe + mail relay). A standard German GDPR DPA is available on request from /sales whenever your procurement team needs one - we don't charge for it and don't gate it behind a plan tier. Where d.vinci sits on each of these is the rest of this page.

When to pick which

Pick KI BMS when

You're up to 100 staff and recruiting has no dedicated 6-month implementation slot.
You want KI pre-sort with reasoning as default - not as a KI module rolled out from 2025.
Public prices and monthly cancellation matter to you - no 3-year contract with quote-only pricing.

Pick d.vinci when

You're 250+ staff and need multi-level approval workflows with fine-grained permissions.
Established market presence with implementation-partner network has concrete procurement value.
Your corporate compliance expects a tool 20+ years in market - not a 2026 player.
