I love this idea and it seems like a great way to bring people together in real life through technology. Like others though I think this could have trouble with laws and probably to a greater extent than AirBnB. How liable is the host if there is an food poisoning incident for example? Is Cookening liable at all? Anyway, good luck, it's a great idea.

Kinda sad that the first thing we have to worry about is how we could possibly be sued while having strangers over.

Having strangers over for money

This is not really some sort of altruistic dinner club.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

When the EU region was announced[1] last month they weren't Safe Harbor compliant (yet). Has that changed? [1] https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/24/europe-region (near the bottom).

You're right, I did a bit of a mic mac there. They are still not compliant with Safe Harbor in the US. Anyway since our company is located in France, the french privacy law allow us to use a hosting located in EU (instead of a US SafeHarbor one). Heroku did the EU launch just for this.

No. "It does not currently address data residency or jurisdiction concerns. You should assume that some portions of your app and its data will be in, or pass through, datacenters located in the US."
