Data Privacy

Data Center

Corvidae takes data privacy seriously, offering flexible data centre options to meet client-specific privacy needs. We host our platform on Microsoft Azure, a leading provider known for its robust security and compliance standards. We offer three key hosting locations to give our customers control over where their data is stored.

1. UK
   For clients looking to store their data closer to home or comply with local data protection regulations, Azure’s UK data centres offer a great option. Hosting in the UK ensures adherence to local privacy laws, such as the UK GDP, which provides a similar level as the EU GDPR post-Brexit.

2. Europe (Frankfurt)
   For clients in the European Union or those focused on GDPR compliance, hosting in Azure's Frankfurt data centre ensures that data remains within the EU. Germany is known for its particularly stringent enforcement and privacy regulations, making Germany one of the most secure locations for data hosting in the EU. This option is ideal for organisations that need to comply with strict European data privacy regulations, offering peace of mind and sovereignty.

3. USA
   Hosting in Azure's USA data centre provides fast, reliable services for clients primarily based in North America. While Azure USA regions comply with a range of data security standards, clients with international privacy concerns, such as GDPR compliance, may prefer one of the above options.

Next Steps

When choosing a data centre for hosting data, clients must carefully assess several factors to ensure that their data remains secure and private and complies with relevant regulations. Here are the key considerations:

• Regulatory Compliance: GDPR or Local Privacy Laws. Clients must determine whether their data must remain in specific jurisdictions to comply with laws like the GDPR, CCPA or other regional regulations. For instance, companies dealing with EU citizens' data should consider GDPR compliance and may prefer hosting in an EU country like Germany to avoid cross-border data transfer issues.

• Data Residency: clients should decide where their data will physically reside. Some countries or contracts require data to stay within national borders, particularly in regulated industries. Hosting in Germany, for example, can help comply with strict data sovereignty laws.

• Location and Latency: the data centre's physical location can impact the data access speed. For clients with users in specific regions, it's important to choose a data centre close to those users to reduce latency and improve performance.

Customer Choice

Corvidae provides the flexibility to choose the locations that best meet your data privacy needs. Whether your priority is GDPR compliance, data residence, or optimisation performance for specific regions, clients are invited to choose where your data is hosted, ensuring complete transparency and control.

By leveraging Azure's global network of data centres, we guarantee that your data is secure, private, and compliant with the highest standards.
