GDPR Ready
Data residency, DPAs, and privacy-by-design architecture
GDPR-ready, EU-hosted, documented to the letter
Data Processing Addendum available on request. EU data residency with Frankfurt, Paris, and Stockholm regions. Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers. Privacy by design in every architecture decision.
Overview
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most comprehensive privacy regulation globally, with extraterritorial reach to any organization processing EU residents' personal data. VxCloud supports GDPR compliance through EU-resident infrastructure, a standard Data Processing Addendum (DPA), Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for international data transfers post-Schrems II, and privacy-by-design architecture aligned with Article 25.
EU data residency is available in Frankfurt (Germany), Paris (France), and Stockholm (Sweden) regions. Customer data, including backups and metadata, remains within the chosen region. For customers with EU-only requirements, personnel access controls restrict administrative access to EU-based staff. Article 32 security-of-processing measures are implemented and documented in our DPA annex.
