Data sovereignty is no longer a purely legal issue. The debate between the US CLOUD Act and the European GDPR now has very concrete implications for data protection, regulatory compliance and digital trust.
For companies handling sensitive information, these issues have become critical. Choosing a cloud infrastructure can no longer rely solely on technical criteria such as performance or scalability. It must also take into account the legal framework governing the service provider.
Hosting data in Europe: necessary but not sufficient
Several institutional legal analyses in Europe, particularly in Germany, have highlighted a key point:
hosting data on European soil does not, by itself, guarantee protection from extraterritorial legislation such as the US CLOUD Act, if the provider is subject to US law.
In other words, the physical location of servers is only part of the equation. The provider's jurisdiction and governance model are equally important.
epresspack's choice: a committed approach
In this context, epresspack has chosen to host its servers with OVHcloud, a French company with:
infrastructure located in Europe,
European governance,
and full compliance with European Union law.
This decision reflects a clear objective: to provide customers with strong technical and legal protection of their data, while supporting European digital sovereignty.
“Cloud infrastructure should not only be efficient and scalable. It must also be legally aligned with European data protection requirements.”

Technology and trust go hand in hand
Infrastructure decisions are never neutral. They express a company's vision of technology and its relationship with customers.
By favoring a European cloud ecosystem, epresspack affirms that trust is built through responsible, transparent and long-term choices.
Through this strategy, the company aims to contribute to a more autonomous, secure and values-driven digital environment in Europe.
