Classification
- Jurisdiction tier
- Adequacy country — Non-EU country with an EU adequacy decision — data flows freely; note the caveat.
- Note
- UK adequacy renewed 19 Dec 2025 → 27 Dec 2031, but on a diverging regime under review; UK also has its own surveillance laws (divergence-watch).
- Caveat
- UK-based (post-Brexit, not EU); mixed licenses incl. Community License.
- Compliance level
- Medium — Derived from the verified classification data on this site: Very high = EU/EEA jurisdiction + documented EU data residency + self-hostable option. High = EU/EEA + EU data residency. Medium = adequacy country + residency, or EU/EEA without documented residency. Each underlying claim carries its own source.
