Email Hosting in Europe: Mailbux Server Locations & Data Privacy

Server Locations

All Mailbux servers are physically located in the European Union:

• Helsinki, Finland
• Nuremberg & Falkenstein, Germany

Both are EU member states with strong national data protection authorities. Your emails, attachments, contacts, calendars, and files are stored and processed entirely within the EU.

What This Means for Your Data

Because our infrastructure is in the EU, your data is subject to European data protection laws. Our EU-based infrastructure supports key GDPR principles — not because of a certification (no formal GDPR certification exists), but because of where and how we operate.

In practice, this means:

• EU jurisdiction — Your data is governed by EU privacy laws
• No data transfer outside the EU — Email processing happens entirely on European servers
• Encryption — All connections use TLS 1.2/1.3 (IMAP, SMTP, POP3, webmail)
• DKIM, SPF, and DMARC — Email authentication to prevent spoofing
• Account deletion — You can delete your account and data at any time from your settings
• Data portability — Export your emails via IMAP or WebDAV at any time

How This Compares to US-Based Providers

Email providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo store data on US servers. US-stored data may be subject to the CLOUD Act and other US laws that allow government access without the user's knowledge.

With Mailbux, your data is in the EU — subject to EU law, not US law.

Who Benefits?

• EU-based businesses that need their data to stay in Europe
• Companies with EU customers handling personal data of EU residents
• Privacy-conscious businesses anywhere who prefer European data jurisdiction
• Regulated industries (healthcare, legal, finance) with data residency requirements
