Own Your CRM Data: True Data Sovereignty & GDPR Compliance
Data residency alone doesn't protect EU customer data from U.S. law. Discover how Twenty CRM and Opsily managed hosting give you true data sovereignty while staying GDPR compliant.
Why Data Location Isn't Enough
You've heard it before: "Your data stays in EU data centers." It sounds secure. It's not the whole story.
The CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) lets U.S. law enforcement compel access to data held by U.S.-headquartered companies, even if that data physically sits in German or Irish servers. HubSpot. Pipedrive. Salesforce. All U.S. companies. All subject to this legal exposure.
Data Residency vs. Data Sovereignty
Data residency means your data is stored in a specific geographic location. German servers. Irish data centers. Compliant.
Data sovereignty means your data is governed by the laws of that region, with no external government able to access it without local legal process. That requires different choices.
GDPR fines reach 4% of global annual turnover for serious violations. For a 50-person company, that's life-or-death money. You need sovereignty, not just residency.
The Self-Hosted Solution
When you self-host Twenty CRM on your own infrastructure, the CLOUD Act doesn't apply. Your U.S.-headquartered vendor isn't holding the keys. You are.
When you use Opsily managed hosting, the same principle applies: we run the infrastructure in EU data centers. You maintain complete control. No U.S. legal override.

Self-hosting is free but requires backups, SSL, version updates, and on-call incident response. We handle it. You get control without the ops overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Data residency means your data is stored in a specific geographic location (EU data centers). Data sovereignty means your data is governed by that region's laws, and external governments cannot access it without local legal process. GDPR requires both. U.S. companies storing data in EU servers are still subject to the CLOUD Act, which lets U.S. law enforcement demand access. When you self-host Twenty CRM or use Opsily managed hosting in EU data centers, you achieve true data sovereignty without U.S. legal exposure.
