Can enterprise MLM platforms handle multi-region GDPR compliance?

Yes, but the depth varies a lot. The procurement-grade questions are: in-region data residency options enforced at the database tier (not just the application tier), Article 17 right-to-erasure workflow that handles the genealogy-tree integrity problem, sub-processor list maintained per region with quarterly updates, and standard contractual clauses for any cross-border transfer. CloudMLM Software and Business MLM Software both clear these questions specifically. Several other directory vendors give vague answers on the genealogy-tree-deletion problem, which is a procurement red flag. The right answer involves soft-delete with anonymization, audit trail preserved, and clear documentation in the DPA.
