UK hosting
PDFStore is a UK-based service. Our application server and database are hosted in the United Kingdom, while files are stored in Cloudflare R2's EU region. Both locations are subject to strong data protection legislation.
Where your data is hosted
PDFStore's infrastructure is split across two locations:
- Application server and database — hosted on DigitalOcean in London, United Kingdom.
- File storage — hosted on Cloudflare R2 in the EU. Your uploaded files are stored in Cloudflare's European region.
Both the UK and EU provide strong data protection frameworks. Your data is governed by UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and EU GDPR respectively.
Why this matters
- Data protection law — your data is subject to both UK and EU data protection legislation, which provide strong protections for personal data.
- Legal clarity — you know exactly which jurisdictions govern your data. There is no ambiguity about which laws apply.
- Reduced latency — for users in the UK and Europe, having data stored locally generally results in faster upload and download speeds.
- GDPR compliance — both the UK and EU enforce GDPR-level protections, ensuring your data is handled responsibly.
