"We can't prove our data stays in the EU."
A global host can shift your workload between regions, so you can't prove where the data lives. For a regulated buyer, that's not a detail — it's a blocker.
Why "probably EU" isn't good enough
Under GDPR, where personal data is processed is a documented fact you have to be able to evidence — to a DPO, an auditor, or a customer's procurement team. A generic global platform that abstracts away its infrastructure can't give you a verifiable answer. The region is chosen for you, and it can change.
That gap turns into real friction at exactly the wrong moments: a public-sector tender that mandates EU-only hosting, a healthcare or finance client that won't sign until residency is in writing, a data-processing agreement that needs a named processor and a fixed location. "It's hosted somewhere in Europe, usually" doesn't pass any of those.
It's a buying requirement, not a nice-to-have
For a growing share of European buyers, data residency is the first checkbox on the form — and an unticked box ends the conversation before features ever come up. If you sell to regulated industries, you don't get to treat residency as something to sort out later.
Pick the region. Prove it from the deployment.
You choose an EU region
CloudWady deploys into the EU region you pick — Hetzner in Falkenstein or Nuremberg (Germany), Helsinki (Finland), or another EU location your provider offers. The workload lives where you said it would, not wherever a global scheduler lands it.
Operated by a German company
The platform is operated by syscoon GmbH, based in Germany. Your processor is an EU legal entity you can name in a contract — not an offshore reseller — with a GDPR Article 28 data-processing agreement on file.
Verifiable, not just stated
Because it's your cloud account, you can see the region on the server itself — the deployment is the evidence. There's no abstraction layer between you and a claim you'd otherwise have to take on faith.
It's your cloud account from day one
CloudWady is the control plane; the infrastructure is yours. The deployment goes into your own cloud account, so the cloud bill comes straight from your provider at their rate — no markup, no resold capacity. You keep ownership of where the data sits and who the processor is, which is precisely what an EU residency requirement is asking you to prove.
EU data residency is operated by syscoon GmbH in Germany, with the GDPR Article 28 DPA covering the processing relationship. You can read the full picture — processor details, region options, and how residency is evidenced — on the Trust page.
