Key insight: Hetzner dominates the European Odoo hosting market for a reason: EU-headquartered, data never leaves Germany/Finland, and pricing is 3-5x cheaper than US-based alternatives for identical specs.
Data compliance: GDPR requires personal data of EU residents to be processed in compliance with EU law. Using an EU-based provider (Hetzner, OVH) or an EU region of a US provider (AWS Frankfurt, GCP Belgium) satisfies most data residency requirements. Check with your DPO for industry-specific rules.

Is Hetzner GDPR compliant for Odoo hosting?
Yes. Hetzner is a German company with datacenters in Germany and Finland (both EU member states). Your data is processed under EU jurisdiction. Hetzner has a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available. This makes it one of the simplest choices for GDPR-compliant Odoo hosting.

Yes, if you deploy to an EU region (Frankfurt, Ireland, Paris, Stockholm, etc.) and configure your account to keep data within the EU. AWS offers a GDPR DPA and is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. However, as a US company, AWS is subject to the CLOUD Act, which some EU regulators view with concern for highly sensitive data.
