Who controls it
US corporate controlRegion-dependent — a US entity contracts in some regions, another elsewhere · clause re-checked 17 Sep 2026
Contracting entityRegion-dependent per the Jurisdiction Specific Terms Appendix. HubSpot, Inc. (Customer Location in North America or South America, except Canada and except Colombia where fees are paid in Colombian Pesos; also the default for any region not listed in the Appendix). HubSpot Ireland Limited (Europe including Russia but excluding the UK, France, Spain, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands and the DACH Region; plus the Middle East, Africa, Antarctica). Other local entities: HubSpot Canada, Inc.; HubSpot Latin America S.A.S (Colombia, fees in COP); HubSpot Germany GmbH (DACH Region plus Liechtenstein); HubSpot France S.A.S.; HubSpot Spain, S.L.; HubSpot Netherlands B.V.; HubSpot UK Holdings Ltd; HubSpot Australia Pty Ltd (Australia and New Zealand); HubSpot Japan KK; HubSpot India Private Limited (CIN U62099KA2024FTC187995); HubSpot Asia Pte. Ltd. FREE SERVICES: General Terms 11.2(iii) assigns users of only the Free Services to HubSpot, Inc. and Massachusetts law, but that carve-out survives only in regions without their own Jurisdiction Specific Terms. Each JST page states the Contracting Entity; Applicable Law; Additional Terms section, including any subsections, is removed and replaced, and that the JST controls in the event of a conflict; none of the 12 JST pages mentions Free Services. An EEA free-tier user therefore falls under HubSpot Ireland Limited and Irish law.
Governing lawRegion-dependent, and genuinely non-US outside the Americas. Americas / any region not listed in the Appendix: 'the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A., without reference to conflicts of law principles', exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. (General Terms 11.2). Europe ex UK/FR/ES/LI/NL/DACH, Middle East, Africa, Antarctica: laws of the Republic of Ireland, exclusive jurisdiction courts of Ireland (jst-europe 3). All verified from the JST pages: Canada - laws of Ontario, exclusive venue Toronto Courts of the Superior Court of Ontario; Colombia (fees in COP) - laws of Colombia; Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein - laws of Germany; United Kingdom - laws of England and Wales; France - laws of France; Spain - laws of Spain; Netherlands - laws of the Netherlands, exclusive venue Netherlands Commercial Court (NCC); Australia and New Zealand - laws of the state of New South Wales, Australia; India - laws of India, with an arbitration clause at jst-india 6; Japan - laws of Japan; rest of Asia-Pacific - laws of Singapore.
Trains on your dataYes, unless you opt out — on the vendor's default plan
On a paid or enterprise planTrains unless you opt out — no retention position stated — same as the default plan

Applies to: Marketing Hub Enterprise, Sales Hub Enterprise, Service Hub Enterprise, Data Hub Enterprise, Content Hub Enterprise, Smart CRM Enterprise, Revenue Hub Enterprise (Sensitive Data is Enterprise-only).

From the AI FAQ: “Accounts with Sensitive Data are automatically opted out of HubSpot AI model training and cannot opt in while Sensitive Data is turned on.” knowledge.hubspot.com ↗

Training and retention posture varies by plan. The default-plan row above describes the vendor’s free or standard tier; the paid-plan row is quoted from the document linked beside it. A negotiated contract can override either. Check your own agreement before relying on this.

This is a separate question from the grade above. The grade measures resilience — whether the tool endures and whether you could leave it. This describes who controls the vendor. A tool can score modestly on one and strongly on the other, and many do.

On U.S. CLOUD Act reach specifically: the statute reaches a provider subject to U.S. jurisdiction over data in its possession, custody or control. Corporate control is a strong indicator of that and it is what we can evidence from published documents — but it is not the whole test. A company founded outside the U.S. can still contract through a U.S. entity or run substantial U.S. operations. Treat this as a starting point for your own review, not a legal determination, and take advice on anything that matters.

How this grade is set

Vannus publishes a nine-dimension trust framework — data sovereignty, training privacy, compliance posture, operational resilience, exit portability, and more. The heaviest criterion asks whether the tool builds its own AI or resells someone else's model; where the vendor discloses it, the grade cites the vendor's own documentation. No paid placements — scoring is walled off from affiliate revenue. See the methodology →
