Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is “servers in Germany” enough for GDPR?
Location is key but not all: DPA (Art. 28), TOMs, access control, logging and subprocessors matter.
Why Frankfurt?
Largest DE internet hub (DE-CIX), low DACH latency, many certified DCs (e.g. Maincubes FRA01).
AWS eu-central-1 vs DE VPS?
US vendors' Frankfurt regions can be GDPR-capable, but group HQ/CLOUD Act often debated. Pure DE provider = clearer residency.
What belongs in a DPA?
Subject, duration, data types, TOMs, subprocessors, deletion, audit rights – request from host.
Backups and GDPR?
Store backups in EU/DE too, encrypt, define retention/deletion.
