GAE and EU law regulations requiring for personal information data to be located in EU.

[Janusz Skonieczny]

Hi all,

I'm looking into a possible case that I'll have to shut down my GAE app just because it's data centre is located outside EU. 

There is a discussion in Poland concerning personal information, and where it can be stored and processed by polish companies. Today a safe bet is that my application data should never leave EU, if not I could face criminal charges and imprisonment :/ 

I'm not sure, but I think other EU countries may have similar regulations (please correct me).

So here my question: 

Is there any plan to locate GAE data centres in EU?

This is easy. Be a corp out of the Kamen Islands. Better for taxes too.
