Where is Maditon's data hosted?

Entirely in the EU and by European-headquartered providers. Compute runs on Hetzner in Finland and Germany, the database is UpCloud Managed PostgreSQL in Finland, the CDN is BunnyCDN on EU-only edge nodes, and identity is Zitadel in Switzerland. No US-headquartered cloud service processes customer data.

The distinction that matters is between “EU region” and “EU company”. Maditon requires the second.

An EU region of a US-headquartered provider does not solve the problem, because the US parent remains subject to FISA 702 and the CLOUD Act regardless of where the servers sit. So the requirement applied throughout the stack is that each provider is either EU-headquartered or self-hosted on EU infrastructure.

This is architecture, not a configuration toggle. There is no “US region” of Maditon to be moved to.
