Hello

I would like to use a GDPR compliant bucket provider (like Ionos from Germany => also has S3 buckets). How can implement this connection?

Unfortunately I don't know the code of appwrite well enough to implement this myself. But it might be a chance for #💻│hacktoberfest @Christy Jacob .

Thank you very much.

Kind regards

TL;DR
Developers are discussing GDPR-compliant bucket providers like Ionos and S3. It is mentioned that S3 and Backblaze are GDPR compliant. It is suggested to add a feature request for Ionos integration or implement it oneself. The server location alone is not enough for GDPR compliance, as other data protection measures need to be in place. Renting from a server company that complies with GDPR and offers documentation is recommended. No solution mentioned.

We've already raised some hacktoberfest issues for additional adapters.

For GDPR, doesn't it just need to reside in Europe? I'm not sure of the requirements

Sorry for my late reply.

Thank you for your feedback. I would be very happy if IONOS/S3 would be integrated (or S3 adapters in general).

Regarding your question about GDPR. The server location alone is not enough. GDPR expects various data protection measures. For example, whether data is also sent to other server locations outside Europe (backup server etc.). GDPR is a very complex issue and involves a great deal of effort for companies. Which is why it is easier to rent from a server company that complies with GDPR and offers corresponding documentation (like IONOS).

Thank you very much for your efforts.

Best thing to do would be to add a 👍 to the generic S3 feature request.

An alternative is to create a feature request ionos.

Or you can implement it yourself

S3 is GDPR compliant and Backblaze too

Also, you can transmit data outside from EU and still be GDPR compliant, not all countries are compliant, but there are countries outside from EU

If you follow the requirements, and if it's a country that has been allowed, obviously: https://edpb.europa.eu/sme-data-protection-guide/international-data-transfers_en

For example, you can transmit data to the United States
