EU data residency

What is EU data residency?

EU data residency means personal data is stored and processed on servers inside the European Union, which simplifies GDPR compliance and avoids cross-border transfer complications.

US-based HR tools may store data outside the EU, which pulls in extra transfer safeguards. For a European company processing employee data, an EU-hosted tool removes a whole class of questions.
