Oh yes then, you are fine if you migrate to a EU provider as long as you respect the general provisions of the GDPR (inform the user, allow access and deletion of PII, don't share it outside the EU, etc ...) ! Sorry I assumed you were a US citizen with a US company

To ensure you don't have problem down the line, make sure they themselves store their data in the EU (for exemple, french OVH allows you to chose where you data is stored, their french datacenters are fine, but I would not go with their canadian datacenters).

Allow me to remind you that it's not just the hosting but anything that touches that data, eg analytics and error reporting services are concerned too

Thanks a lot this is super helpful, much appreciated.

I was just thinking about the other services, for example would Cloudflare be ok? We proxy all our traffic through them, and they are key for DDOS prevention, I suppose data goes encrypted to them.
