GDPR isn't a checkbox - it's a posture. If you're moving off Onlyfy by XING 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

Onlyfy by XING is right when your recruiting focus is active sourcing - in-house recruiters direct-messaging XING profiles, with a 21M DACH-profile talent pool in the same tool. KI BMS is right when your recruiting focus is inbound - public roles, incoming applications, KI pre-sorting, fast rejection templates. Both EU-hosted; both GDPR-clean.

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 Onlyfy by XING sits on each of these is the rest of this page.
