## Why Japan

Tokyo runs on JPIX and BBIX at 71 ms to Singapore and 168 ms to New York. Japan protects secrecy of communications constitutionally, imposes no general retention duty and joins no Eyes tier — the strongest legal position among our performance sites — but it cooperates readily through mutual legal assistance and has a defined claimant disclosure procedure.

**Trade-off:** Legally the strongest of our performance sites and the most expensive. Japan protects secrecy of communications at constitutional level, has no general retention mandate, and is in no Eyes tier. What it does not give you is distance from a determined claimant: the Provider Liability Limitation Act sets out a working disclosure procedure, and Japan cooperates readily with Western law enforcement through mutual legal assistance. Also 224 ms from Frankfurt — this is a site for Asian users, not a European hedge.

## Legal basis

| Provider liability limited, with a defined disclosure procedure for claimants | Act on the Limitation of Liability for Damages of Specified Telecommunications Service Providers | 2001 |
| Personal-data protection with cross-border transfer restrictions | Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), as amended | 2020 |
