Why digital sovereignty matters with ConfigCat
ConfigCat is headquartered in HU and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.
ConfigCat hosts data in EU, US, Canada, UK, Australia. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.
ConfigCat is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.
What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs ConfigCat together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
