Fastmail, a privacy-focused productivity service, rolled out its new EU-hosted email infrastructure that lets customers all over the world, new and existing, decide exactly where their data is stored, Europe or the US. By adding this feature, Fastmail not only expands its capabilities but also tackles a fundamental business operational concern as more enterprises are required to comply not only with data sovereignty laws but also with very complicated GDPR compliance setups that often require local data processing to safeguard digital assets. In essence, the migration difficulties that companies commonly run into due to being forced to switch between data locations as their teams are geographically dispersed, Fastmail removes these problems by offering an integrated product dashboard configuration where users can choose the sovereign cloud.

Now users can set their data residency location at the account level to ensure that their email repositories, contact list, and the calendar database are separated in a secure way inside a particular European data center. Highlighting the balance between modern data privacy and operational autonomy, “Organisations shouldn’t have to choose between privacy, performance and compliance,” said Bron Gondwana, CEO of Fastmail. “Giving customers the option to keep the primary copy of their data stored in the same jurisdiction simplifies their compliance needs.” This regional expansion underpins Fastmail’s commitment to independent, secure, and flexible open-standard communication infrastructure, enabling global enterprise IT teams to seamlessly scale compliance protocols without sacrificing performance or system-wide usability across multi-tenant workplace environments.
