Plain-language privacy notice, standard German GDPR DPA available on request, self-serve export + delete.

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.
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
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.
