## Why France

Paris is our lowest-latency Western European site, 9 ms from Amsterdam and 8 ms from London, on France-IX and DE-CIX Paris. It is not a privacy jurisdiction: France sits in the Nine Eyes tier, mandates connection-data retention that reaches hosts, and is fully within EU judicial cooperation. Choose it for speed, not for legal distance.

**Trade-off:** This is a latency choice, not a legal one. France participates in the Nine Eyes tier, imposes connection-data retention that reaches hosting providers, and is fully inside EU judicial cooperation — a European Investigation Order arrives here without friction. Pick Paris because your users are in Western Europe and 9 ms to Amsterdam matters. If jurisdiction is what you are buying, buy Iceland or Switzerland instead.

| General retention upheld for national-security purposes | Conseil d’État, French Data Network and others, decision no. 393099 | 2021 |
