EU-Hosted Email Verification
Verify email without shipping addresses across the Atlantic. All processing happens on EU infrastructure in Frankfurt, with no retention and a DPA on every plan.
What Mailbeam checks
Every verification runs 7 checks in parallel and returns a structured result in under 100ms.
Frankfurt data residency
Verification runs on infrastructure located in Germany. Addresses do not leave the EU during processing.
No transatlantic transfer
Avoid the Standard Contractual Clauses headache that comes with US-based verifiers processing EU personal data.
No retention after verification
Addresses are discarded once verified, so there is no EU dataset accumulating in a third-party system.
Signed DPA on every plan
Article 28 processor terms are available on every tier, not gated behind enterprise contracts.
Same speed as anywhere
EU hosting does not cost you latency — p99 real-time responses stay under 100ms.
Clear sub-processor story
A short, documented sub-processor list makes vendor reviews and DPAs straightforward for your legal team.
How it works
Call the EU endpoint
Requests are served from EU infrastructure by default — there is no separate region to opt into.
In-region processing
DNS, MX, and SMTP checks execute within the EU; the address never transits a US data center.
Verdict returned
You receive a status and score with no residency caveats to document.
Nothing retained
The address is discarded after the response, so there is no EU data at rest to account for.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is data processed?
On EU infrastructure in Frankfurt, Germany. Real-time and batch verification both run in-region; addresses are not routed through US data centers.
Do you transfer data outside the EU?
No. Verification is processed within the EU and addresses are not retained afterward, so there is no ongoing transfer to document under Chapter V of the GDPR.
Is a DPA included?
Yes. A signed Data Processing Agreement with Article 28 processor terms is available on every plan, including the free tier.
Does EU hosting make it slower?
No. p99 real-time latency remains under 100ms. Hosting location affects legal posture, not response time for your integration.
How is this different from GDPR compliance generally?
GDPR compliance is the broad legal posture — lawful basis, DPA, data-subject rights. EU hosting is a specific, concrete control: the physical location where processing happens. This page focuses on the residency guarantee; see the GDPR page for the full compliance picture.
