All Infrastructure in Finland
EuroMail runs its entire infrastructure in Hetzner's Helsinki data center (hel1 region), located in Finland. Every component of the stack — API servers, background workers, SMTP engines, PostgreSQL databases, Redis queues, and object storage — operates within Finnish borders. There are no edge nodes, CDN pop-ups, or replicas outside the European Union.
This means that from the moment your application calls the EuroMail API to the moment an email leaves our SMTP engine, your data never crosses an EU border.
No Third-Party Sub-Processors Outside the EU
EuroMail does not rely on any third-party services for email delivery. Unlike providers built on top of Amazon SES, SendGrid, or Mailgun, EuroMail delivers email directly from its own SMTP engine to recipient mail servers. There are no sub-processors outside the EU involved in any part of the data pipeline.
The Data Lifecycle
Every stage of EuroMail's data lifecycle stays within Finland:
- API ingestion — Your application sends email data to our API endpoints hosted in hel1.
- Queue processing — Email jobs are queued in Redis and picked up by worker processes, all running in hel1.
- SMTP delivery — Our Rust SMTP engine connects directly to recipient MX servers from Finnish IP addresses.
- Storage — Email metadata, delivery logs, templates, and analytics are stored in PostgreSQL databases in hel1.
Data Processing Agreement
A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is included with all EuroMail plans, including the free tier. The DPA covers all GDPR Article 28 requirements and clearly specifies Finland as the sole processing location. You can download the DPA from the legal section at any time.
Schrems II Compliance
Because EuroMail processes all data exclusively within the EU and uses no US-based sub-processors, there are no transatlantic data transfers to worry about. This eliminates the need for Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs), or supplementary measures related to the Schrems II ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Simplified Vendor Assessments
For B2B customers, EuroMail's architecture significantly simplifies vendor assessments and procurement reviews. When your legal or compliance team evaluates email providers, they can confirm in minutes that all data stays within the EU. No complex data flow diagrams, no sub-processor chains to audit, and no transfer mechanism evaluations required.
