Imagine that your data is not scattered somewhere, but is safely stored in a data center within the EU. European providers are subject to the GDPR - this means clear rules instead of gray areas. If you care about who does what with your data, there is hardly any way around a location in Europe. ### Q: What does the CLOUD Act mean for you? Briefly explained: The CLOUD Act obliges US companies to hand over data - even if it is not physically located in the USA. A server in Germany? Doesn't help if the provider is based in California. And you usually don't even notice anything about it. Sounds worrying? It is too. ### Q: How does netcup ensure data protection and control? It's simple: netcup uses its own servers, all in Europe. Plus open source instead of black box. This gives you back control. You know where your data is and who can access it - and who can't. ### Q: Why netcup and not one of the large international providers?
