Frequently asked questions

What makes a provider qualify for Voie?

The provider must be headquartered in Europe and operate servers in Europe. US companies with European data centers do not qualify. Neither do European companies that have been acquired by US entities. The index exists precisely because that distinction matters.

What's the difference between European HQ and European servers?

A company can be headquartered in Europe but route your data through US infrastructure — and vice versa. Voie requires both: European ownership and European operations. One without the other doesn't meet the bar.

Why does European infrastructure matter?

US cloud providers are subject to US law regardless of where their servers sit. CLOUD Act requests, FISA orders, and ownership structures create legal exposure that geography alone doesn't fix. European-owned and operated infrastructure removes that exposure by design.
