Fastmail offers EU data region
Fastmail has launched a new data region in Amsterdam, allowing users to store their email data within the European Union. This move aims to address user concerns regarding data sovereignty, local compliance, and privacy.
Why it matters
As data privacy regulations like GDPR become more stringent, companies are increasingly forced to offer regional data residency to maintain trust and compliance.
US or EU? Your choice Many of you have been telling us that where your email is stored matters to you. There are various reasons for this, like local law, keeping your data close to home, or compliance.
You can now make the European Union the primary home for your Fastmail data, on our own secure servers in Amsterdam. Previously, all accounts were stored entirely in the US. Now you have more choice.
We’ve installed our own servers, co-located in a secure facility in Amsterdam, set up by our own engineers. This new location is built to the same high standards as our existing infrastructure in Philadelphia and St Louis, with our own hardware and our own software — specified right down to the exact model of disks in each machine.
