It's a very real concern, but I don't think hosting in the E.U. solves anything.
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoMaybe I was not clear - this is not about stopping the NSA reading my support emails (I pretty much assume anything I do that is digital is caught, even if not read) My concern is winning business with UK public sector - the Data Protection Act and ICO are clear on processing data only inside legal regiemes that share the same data privacy protections - in other words EU companies must process inside EU borders. Or rather we don't have to but it's a pain in the arse to explain why not and I have enough to do so please please please either stick processors inside the EU or can I find a bunch if similar parties who fancy shouldering the cost of doing same.
