Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about EU file hosting
Where exactly are Comfyfile servers located?
All Comfyfile infrastructure is located within European Union member states. Your files are stored in EU data centers and never leave European jurisdiction. We do not use US cloud providers or services that transfer data outside the EU.
Is Comfyfile really GDPR compliant?
Yes. Comfyfile is built with GDPR compliance as a core design principle. We implement data minimization, purpose limitation, storage limitation, and security by design. Anonymous sharing requires zero personal data. All features comply with GDPR requirements.
What is Schrems II and why does it matter?
Schrems II is a 2020 EU Court of Justice ruling that invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield, making US cloud services legally problematic for EU data. By hosting entirely in the EU, Comfyfile avoids these legal complications. Your data never crosses borders that require complex legal mechanisms.
Can US authorities access my files?
No. Because Comfyfile is made and hosted entirely in Europe, US laws like the CLOUD Act and FISA 702 do not apply. Your files are subject only to EU law and jurisdiction. No foreign government has legal access to data stored on EU servers under EU control.
Do you use any US cloud services like AWS or Google Cloud?
No. We do not use US-based cloud providers or services. All infrastructure is European-owned and operated within EU borders. This eliminates any risk of US parent company access or compliance with US surveillance laws.
Is EU hosting slower than global CDNs?
For European users, EU hosting is actually faster because data doesn't travel across continents. Comfyfile offers unlimited upload and download speeds with no throttling. Files are instantly available after upload with no processing delays.
Who needs EU-hosted file sharing?
Government agencies, healthcare providers, legal firms, financial services, and any organization handling sensitive EU citizen data. Also individuals who value privacy and want their data protected under European law rather than subject to foreign surveillance.
What makes 'Made in Europe' important?
'Made in Europe' means the service is developed by a European company, not just hosted in EU data centers. This matters because US parent companies can be compelled to access data even if stored in EU. Comfyfile has no US corporate ties or obligations.
Can I use Comfyfile for healthcare data (GDPR Article 9)?
Yes. Comfyfile's EU hosting, data minimization, security features, and automatic deletion make it suitable for special category data under GDPR Article 9. However, you should assess your specific use case and implement appropriate additional safeguards like password protection.
How long do you keep my files?
Files are automatically deleted based on your chosen expiry time (minutes to weeks) or when download limits are reached. We implement GDPR storage limitation principles - files are never kept longer than necessary for their sharing purpose. No indefinite storage.
Do you track users or use analytics cookies?
No. We don't use tracking cookies, analytics scripts, or build user profiles. Share-level analytics (views, downloads) don't collect personal information about downloaders. This protects privacy while giving you useful engagement metrics.
Is Comfyfile free for EU users?
Yes. All features including EU hosting, GDPR compliance, up to 4GB file sharing, password protection, auto-expiry, and analytics are free. No hidden costs, no premium tiers for compliance features. European data sovereignty shouldn't be a luxury.
