# Why We Host Everything in the EU

Data residency isn't a checkbox. Why Nexuri runs every workload on AWS EU regions, GDPR-compliant by default — and what it means for your data.

"Where is my data?" is the first real question serious companies ask. Not the framework, not the design — the data. Here is our answer, and why we made it non-negotiable.

## Everything runs in EU regions

Every workload we build and operate runs on AWS infrastructure in EU regions. Compute, databases, backups, logs — all of it stays in Europe. There is no "mostly EU with a US fallback." That ambiguity is exactly what gets companies into trouble.

## GDPR by default, not as an afterthought

GDPR compliance isn't a feature you bolt on at the end. We design for it from day one: data minimisation, encryption in transit and at rest, clear retention, and processing strictly under GDPR. For AI workloads that means zero-retention API tiers or self-hosted models — your prompts don't train anyone else's model.

## Why it matters for you

- Regulated industries (health, finance, public sector) often cannot use US-hosted vendors.

- Enterprise procurement increasingly requires EU data residency in writing.

- Trust — your customers care where their data lives, even when regulators don't force the question.

## The short version

We host everything in the EU because it removes a category of risk for the companies we serve — and because it's the right default in 2026. Your data stays in Europe. Full stop.
