GDPR-compliant by design
EU entity. EU jurisdiction. EU servers. Built to satisfy your DPO, not just your developers.
For too long, European teams have faced a false choice.
Convenience or compliance. The developer experience of US platforms — deploy in seconds, scale instantly — or wrestle with bare-metal servers, spending weekends on Kubernetes to meet data residency requirements.
AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure offer EU regions. But under the US CLOUD Act, US authorities can compel these companies to hand over data — regardless of where it's stored. The Schrems II ruling confirmed that EU-US data transfers lack adequate protection.
zwrm is different.
zwrm is a European entity, subject to European law. Your data stays on EU servers. No CLOUD Act exposure. No foreign subpoenas. A Data Processing Agreement is included with every account. And because the platform is self-hostable, you can run it on your own hardware for full control.
