## Why Panama

Panama has constitutional communications-privacy protection, no hosting-level retention statute, and no MLAT in force with most EU member states — foreign requests fall back to letters rogatory. Note the existing US MLAT: this is distance from Brussels, not from Washington.

**Trade-off:** Genuine legal distance from Europe, and the letters-rogatory route is slow by design. But Panama does have an MLAT with the United States, so it is the wrong choice if your threat model points at Washington. Latency to Europe is 130 ms.

## Legal basis

| Claim | Instrument | Year |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Constitutional protection of private communications requiring judicial authorisation | Political Constitution of Panama, Art. 29 | 2004 |
| No general data-retention statute covering hosting providers | Law 51 of 2009 on electronic documents — no retention mandate for hosts | 2009 |
| No mutual legal assistance treaty in force with most EU member states | Panama MLAT register — bilateral treaties limited; requests route through letters rogatory | 2024 |
| Personal-data statute modelled on GDPR principles with local enforcement only | Law 81 of 2019 on Personal Data Protection, in force March 2021 | 2021 |

## Frequently asked questions

### How much is a storage in Panama?

Pricing starts at $20.00 per month at PTY-1 · Costa del Este, reaching $119.00 for the largest configuration. All plans include DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.

### Why choose Panama for this?

Panama's constitutional privacy protection, lack of hosting retention laws, and no MLAT with most EU states mean foreign requests revert to slow letters rogatory. However, the US MLAT exists, so this favors legal distance from Brussels but not Washington. Suited for Latin American latency, EU legal separation, cold archives, and non-European redundancy.

### What is the catch with Panama?

Genuine legal distance from Europe and deliberate slow legal processes are the advantages. But because Panama has an MLAT with the United States, it is unsuitable if your threat model involves Washington. European latency is 130 ms.

### Do you require identity verification in Panama?

No. Token-only applies across all 16 locations: no name, email, phone, or ID, and settlement is crypto-only.
