HR software for Polish teams. EU infrastructure, no US data exposure.
Ascend HR is incorporated and hosted in the EU — giving Poland teams full control over their employee data. Structured onboarding, goal tracking, peer feedback, and performance reviews in one platform.
Why data sovereignty matters in Poland
Poland's Personal Data Protection Office (UODO) enforces GDPR and has issued guidance specific to employment data. Polish employers must document their data processing activities and respect employee rights to access and correction.
Polish labour law sets clear requirements on employment contracts, probation periods, and performance management documentation. A structured HR approach reduces legal risk and supports consistent people management.
US-headquartered HR software — even when hosted on European servers — can be compelled by US authorities to hand over data under the CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act). This applies regardless of where the data is physically stored. Ascend HR is incorporated in the EU and hosted on Hetzner, a German company. We are not subject to US jurisdiction, and we never will be.
