I couldn't find any GDPR information on the website, which is particularly important for Europeans. It would also be beneficial if the data of Europeans was stored on a server within the EU. Why? For instance, a company's privacy policy can change at any time, potentially leading to our data being sold.

Hey there, I head up the engineering at Procoto! Totally understand the need for data to be hosted in EU servers as I come from a company that primarily works with European orgs. While EU hosting is something we have discussed, it is definitely lower on the priority list for now until the feature set is a bit more built out. This is the first time we have gotten a request for EU hosting, but GDPR compliance is on our radar as we understand the need for privacy and security!

The significance of European hosting lies in its stringent privacy safeguards, enforced by European legislation, which severely restricts unpermitted data disclosure unless mandated by a court order in exceptional circumstances. Conversely, the US CLOUD Act authorizes American authorities to access unencrypted data. Thus, for those prioritizing data privacy, hosting in Europe often presents a more secure option.
