Yeah, thats what I figured, I will probably need to host on a German provider. It really is a pity that OVH Web Cloud is not compatible with German GDPR (DSGVO) regulations, because other than that I'm satisfied with the product. And I'd like to support OVH in the OVH vs Canada data sovereignity issue.
I'm a bit surprised that GDPR and the German market are so unimportant to OVH that they never bothered to implement IP anonymisation or customer-defined retention periods for logs. After all, I found in the forum that the same issue with GDPR vs. log files was identified already eight years ago: https://community.ovhcloud.com/community/en/disabling-server-logs?
In any case, thanks for your input!
