Re: European Cloud, Global Reach
#162There's a lot of negativity and nit picking here. Upcloud are OK, Hetzner are better in my opinion for a lot of things. Nothing is perfect and European providers need to start somewhere. We all know there are tradeoffs and limitations but there's no need for a pile on.

Avoid ANY company that makes this claim.
I'm European and European providers need to start by not being dishonest, we can't just give 'em some slack just because they are "ours". I'm not putting my data into a company that can't even be honest about their actual reliability.

GDPR did not lead to any actual changes for the company, except they set up a fancy web-page about how serious we where about GDPR. That's the intention? Many companies cannot possibly remove the info GDPR demands, as they barely know they have it, and they will use minimal efforts to fiddle with this stuff…

Wouldn't that require some kind of actual policing? Here (in Norway) at least, police does not use any of their time trying to access random data systems looking for personal info stored in violation with GDPR. This is not something anyone fears, so as long as you say you are OK, you are OK.

The company I worked for was almost as big as they come here in Norway (handled extremely sensitive personal information also). We are full of clown tech companies here as well (just like your 'Epic Health Journals' etc.). These kind of companies cannot comply with these types of rules, they cannot even make their own systems work properly.

Maybe a dumb question, but have you actually reported the company to your DPA? I think the DPAs have some agency to perform investigations on their own, but currently they're mostly acting on user complaints, whistleblowers and self-reporting by the organization itself, so if none of the people involved (on either side) reports the organization, the DPA won't know where to even begin.
Seemingly you have a good inside view with clear evidence of breaking GDPR, so I assume you've reported this organization then?
