Data residency
==============
All **Weblate Cloud** and **Hosted Weblate** services are hosted entirely within the **European Union**.
This ensures strong data protection, clear jurisdiction, and compliance with European privacy standards.
Our infrastructure is provided by **Hetzner Online GmbH**, a German data center operator with a long-standing reputation for reliability and sustainability.
Hetzners facilities are certified under **ISO 27001** (information security) and **ISO 9001** (quality management), and are pursuing **ISO 50001** (energy management) certification.
Where data lives
----------------
- All customer data, including translations, user information, and backups, is stored and processed within the EU.
- Primary data centers are located in **Germany**.
- No operational data leaves the EU unless explicitly requested by the customer (for example, for external backups or region-specific deployments).
Privacy and regulatory compliance
---------------------------------
Weblate Cloud and Hosted Weblate follow privacy-by-design principles and meet the requirements of **GDPR**.
Sustainability
--------------
All hosting infrastructure operates on **100% renewable energy**, primarily sourced from **hydropower**. You can find more details at https://www.hetzner.com/unternehmen/nachhaltigkeit/.
Customer control
----------------
Customers retain full control over their data:
- Projects, translations, and user accounts can be exported or deleted at any time.
- External integrations are optional and fully configurable.
- Dedicated Weblate instances are available for organizations needing isolated or customized environments.
