Anti-retention precedent
Answer
Romania is the only EU jurisdiction where the constitutional court struck down mandatory data retention twice, in 2009 and again in 2014, and refused the replacement bill. It combines that precedent with EU-grade connectivity and the lowest cost per core in our EU footprint.
§01 Legal dossier
What Romania law actually says
Each claim below names the instrument behind it and the year it took effect, so you can verify it rather than trust us.
- 01
Data-retention law struck down as unconstitutional — twice
Instrument · 2014
Constitutional Court Decision 1258/2009 and Decision 440/2014 - 02
Follow-up retention bill also declared unconstitutional
Instrument · 2014
Constitutional Court Decision 461/2014 on Law 82/2012 replacement - 03
Hosting liability exemption under the DSA regime
Instrument · 2024
EU Digital Services Act (Reg. 2022/2065), Art. 6 - 04
Not a member of any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier
Instrument · 2024
No documented SIGINT Seniors participation
The trade-off
EU membership means EU instruments — European Investigation Orders reach Bucharest. What Romania gives you is a constitutional court that has twice refused to let the state retain communications data, plus very good price-per-core.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01 Is Romania a good place to host a server?
Romania stands alone in the EU: its constitutional court struck down mandatory data retention twice, in 2009 and again in 2014, and refused the replacement bill. That history, paired with EU-grade connectivity and the lowest cost per core in our EU footprint, creates a practical alternative for privacy-focused hosting. The trade-off is EU membership: European Investigation Orders can reach Bucharest. We state this openly on this page.
02 Does Romania have mandatory data retention?
Data-retention law was struck down as unconstitutional twice: Constitutional Court Decision 1258/2009 and Decision 440/2014.
03 Is Romania in Five Eyes or the EU?
Romania has no documented participation in any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier. As an EU member, it is subject to European Investigation Orders and DSA obligations.
04 What latency should I expect from Bucharest?
Round-trip latencies: 29 ms to Frankfurt, 41 ms to London, 33 ms to Amsterdam, 112 ms to New York, 148 ms to Singapore. See lg-otp.incognitovps.com.
