Why Self-Host?

Описание: This video is a collaboration between Underjord and GleSYS where I outline my understanding of the current legal landscape for EU businesses and companies with EU customers that use US-based cloud services or SaaS.

With GDPR, Schrems II and all that entails with regards to privacy in handling Personal Data I think companies can benefit from considering an alternative approach for many of the services we rely on.

I also think there's additional benefit in not putting all of the machinery of your company in other people's products. You can even try your hand at getting away cheaply, which is a fun sport practiced by companies through the ages.

A big thanks to GleSYS for funding the video and I look forward to the next one.

Bonus note about the sponsor: GleSYS is not restricted to Sweden, they focus their efforts on the Nordics and have a data centre in Finland as well.

Almost breaking news: Since recording this there has been preliminary movement in the EU/US politics saying that they want to solve Schrems II but there's no indication that they are solving the fundamental issue and Schrems' and Noyb seem to stand ready to put it to the test: https://noyb.eu/en/privacy-shield-20-...
