Hi All,
I am based in Ireland (english speaking). Just wondering of there are many other European based builders here.
tks

Im based in London. Might sound strange but after Brexit, I will need to check if that means im now out side of all three of these tems EU, Europe and Euro. Data center location, push notification restrictions verses data protection laws plus AI Act are some of the governing drivers that need to be respected and considered ahead of time. Its all moving so fast we cant keep up with the pace.
Netherlands based, with a daughter company in India.
Germany. Actually trying to get stuff GDPR compliant atm
Let’s see if anymore European builders pop up here. It might be nice to pool our resources/brains around European specific issues.
If there are “enough” , Maybe we could get a category in the forum for European builders .Also be great to get a message out on the Tuesdays with tadabase newsletter also as maybe not all builders are on the forum.
Would be advantageous if we could get more builders in Europe as I always believe “a rising tide lifts all boats” - increased Tadabase adoption in Europe good for Moe and good for us. I’m still stunned at the relatively low level of awareness of TD versus its amazing functionality. I tested quite a lot of platforms before settling on Tadabase.
Previously when using a similar platform we had a nice (small) European forum that linked up via zoom a few times a year. We helped each other out and shared ideas etc.
No 1 challenge for me is GDPR compliance and specifically how to address the issue of international transfer of data. To be fair to Tadabase it’s not really commercially viable currently for them to set up European based servers.
It would be great if tadabase had the resources to self certify to this https://www.edpb.europa.eu/system/files/2024-07/edpb_dpf_faq-for-businesses_en.pdf
For the record I’m not really an expert in this area.
Welcome thoughts, ideas and feedback

Generally I think that the different platforms are quite low on auditing their safety standards. Note: not the safety standards itself but showing to the public they are serious.
Tadabase has a good focus on cybersecurity: Security & Infrastructure Overview | Tadabase
But that doesn’t mean they could not improve. I miss a ISO 27001 certification, but having SOC-2 is already more than you might find on other platforms.
Security focus is one of the reasons I chose Tadabase.
Yes but security and data compliance very different requirement . International data transfer is a different fish to fry

Good idea @arthurbuy ! you have my full support.
Hello Noel @arthurbuy, I made a list for you, very important topic, please lead.
Thanks. @Peter WRT to your comment re ISO27001 VS SOC2. I would concur. I have seen ISO9001 and ISO 27001 certifications in companies. ISO 27001 is no terribly hard to achieve and honestly would give me limited confidence based on what I have seen of audits/Auditors. Its almost impossible to lose it once you get it. SOC2 is actual tested so personally Id have more confidence in it
- ISO 27001:
- Involves certification by an accredited third-party auditor. It focuses on the establishment and maintenance of an ISMS.
- SOC 2:
- Results in an attestation report (not a certification) issued by a licensed CPA firm after an audit.
- Evaluates the operational effectiveness of security controls over a specified period (Type 2) or at a specific point in time (Type 1).
@arthurbuy - I would like to put these on the table…or perhaps I can put them up in the background just incase the retained knowledge becomes useful going forward.

sorry for hijacking this, but I have a EU-specific question. How did you guys implement cookie consents?
I do on my own website.
Tadabase apps I build are not external facing only for employees so I don’t currently
same here - internal only. I have no need.
I cant get the hyper links to work as the file is .png.
Hi
Our app is available to customers only, and after double opt in, so I am less worried about GPDR and cookie consent. I have a consern over EU based data, but not a large one.
Building a simple but effective double opt in was challenging, but has worked well for over a year.
@arthurbuy @Shumon @Peter @mtif @andreas
For your attention reference European based servers.
