In practice both Google and Amazon admitted that US right has precedence, even for servers in the EU. Which means that these cloud services are off-limits for any borderline sensitive data, orelse you'll be in hot water yourself. Which is why for our application we've ordered a virtual host in Iceland (1984hosting.com or 1984.is if you speak Islenska). As long as you don't do anything running afoul of Icelandic law, you're protected by one of the best data protection laws in the world. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
