Data residency, choose where your project lives
At Eqlo, the hosting region is set project by project: European Union, United States or United Kingdom. The project's database, files and secrets stay in the region picked when it was created, on every plan, the Free plan included.
- 3Regions to pick from
- EURegion offered by default
- 1Region per project
- AES-256Encryption for secrets
Choose the region when you create the project
The full creation form shows a "Hosting region" field with three options: European Union, United States and United Kingdom. When you start a project from the description box on the dashboard, Eqlo applies your workspace's default region, which starts out as the European Union.
The region then shows wherever you work: in the studio status bar and on every row of the project list, next to the type and the language. You always know where the open project's data is stored.
A US business collecting quote requests from local customers will usually pick the United States. The United Kingdom suits teams bound by UK GDPR, and the European Union suits those whose customers and obligations sit inside the EU.
What data residency covers in the region
The region applies to everything that belongs to the project: the database with its tables, rows and members, the files uploaded to the media library or received through forms, and the stored secrets, such as Stripe keys or CRM keys.
Secrets are encrypted with AES-256 and never included in the workspace export. Published sites load no third-party scripts, which the publish checks confirm on every release.
Visit statistics on published sites work without cookies, and Google indexes no page whose access is limited to members. Less personal data moves around, which also keeps your records of processing simpler.
What stays outside the project's region
Some services keep their own hosting rules, whatever you pick. Payments go through your own Stripe account, and an app sent to the stores is handled by Apple and Google under their own terms. To generate and edit the site, your requests also go through the AI models Eqlo uses, including Anthropic's Claude.
Every connection you add, such as Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, HubSpot or Brevo, sends form data to that service, which stores it on its side. Before connecting a tool, check that it fits your obligations.
The eqlo.app site itself, the one you are reading, is hosted as stated in the legal notice, separately from the region of your projects.
GDPR and individual rights
For the data your site collects, you are the controller and Eqlo acts as processor. Ask hello@eqlo.app and Eqlo sends you its data processing agreement (DPA) to sign.
When someone exercises their right of access, correction or deletion, the site's admin gives you what you need: viewing tables, editing or deleting rows, and exporting to CSV or SQL.
Your site's legal notice and privacy policy are yours to write: Eqlo does not generate them, and a "legal" field is provided in the footer. If you serve California residents or other US states, your own notices still apply.
Change region
A project's region is fixed when it is created. In the workspace settings, you can change the default region for new projects; existing projects keep theirs, and the change is recorded in the activity log.
To move a project to another region, create a new project in the target region, then bring your data across with CSV export and table import. If a large workspace is involved, write to hello@eqlo.app.

Frequently asked questions
Can I mix several regions in one project?
No, each project has a single region. If two sets of data must be hosted in two different places, create two projects, each with its own region.
Does paying in dollars force the United States?
No. Billing and the project region are independent. You pick the region in the creation form, whatever your currency or billing address.
Is the United Kingdom part of the European Union region?
No, it is a separate region. Pick it if your obligations call for hosting in the United Kingdom, under UK GDPR.
What if I picked the wrong region?
Create a new project in the right region, then bring your data across with CSV export and table import. For a large workspace, write to hello@eqlo.app.
