Non-EU HQ

Non-EU headquarters — data sovereignty risk

London, United Kingdom. This vendor is headquartered outside the European Union. EU personal data processed by the vendor is a cross-border transfer under GDPR Chapter V and depends on an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or a derogation. Non-EU providers introduce jurisdictional exposure to third-country data-access regimes. For institutional buyers prioritising European data sovereignty, prefer an EU-headquartered provider.
