Data residency

All Weblate Cloud and Hosted Weblate services are hosted entirely within the European Union. This ensures strong data protection, clear jurisdiction, and compliance with European privacy standards.

Our infrastructure is provided by Hetzner Online GmbH, a German data center operator with a long-standing reputation for reliability and sustainability. Hetzner’s facilities are certified under ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 9001 (quality management), and are pursuing ISO 50001 (energy management) certification.

Where data lives

• All customer data, including translations, user information, and backups, is stored and processed within the EU.

• Primary data centers are located in Germany.

• No operational data leaves the EU unless explicitly requested by the customer (for example, for external backups or region-specific deployments).

Privacy and regulatory compliance

Weblate Cloud and Hosted Weblate follow privacy-by-design principles and meet the requirements of GDPR.

Sustainability

All hosting infrastructure operates on 100% renewable energy, primarily sourced from hydropower. You can find more details at https://www.hetzner.com/unternehmen/nachhaltigkeit/.

Customer control

Customers retain full control over their data: - Projects, translations, and user accounts can be exported or deleted at any time. - External integrations are optional and fully configurable. - Dedicated Weblate instances are available for organizations needing isolated or customized environments.
