Data residency (EU)

European hosting, GDPR positioning, and data boundaries.

MailingCore is designed and operated as a European email platform. Customer data and processing are positioned for EU-based teams that need GDPR-aligned tooling without operating their own mail infrastructure.

What stays in Europe

DataLocation / control
Account, tenant, contactsMailingCore database (EU-hosted infrastructure)
Templates, campaigns, logsSame tenant-scoped storage
API trafficapi.mailingcore.com (EU deployment)
Email transportAWS SES or SMTP — region configured per deployment

Exact AWS regions depend on your environment (staging vs production). Confirm current regions with your account representative or deployment documentation.

GDPR by design

Built-in capabilities relevant to compliance:

  • Consent and unsubscribe — hosted unsubscribe pages, {{unsubscribeUrl}}, suppression list
  • Right to erasureDELETE contact by external ID
  • Data minimization — store only what you sync via API (externalId, attributes you choose)
  • Audit trail — dashboard audit log for administrative actions (plan-dependent)

MailingCore provides technical measures; you remain the data controller for your end users. Maintain your privacy policy, lawful basis, and DPA with subprocessors (AWS, Stripe, etc.).

Subprocessors

Typical subprocessors include:

  • AWS — email delivery (SES), infrastructure
  • Stripe — billing and subscriptions
  • Redis / queue workers — async delivery (within same deployment boundary)

Request an up-to-date subprocessor list from support for your DPA package.
