Sounds good, reads good too.

But isn’t the server location also a decisive criterion for security?

Unfortunally i’m not a lawer nor do i have the background knowledge to answer this question in terms of law.

I would say yes, under circumstances. I guess it makes a difference where a server is physically located, because this could make it easier or harder for third parties to physically access the data.

I think the physical server location doesn’t matter in the digital realm if the server itself or the connection to the server is accessible and vulnerable, but it is important that your data falls into a legislation which makes it harder for third parties to spread, sell, use…your personal data without your consent.
