    red
  • Amazon Web ServicesHosting / cloud

    The EU-Luxembourg contracting entity is a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (US). CLOUD Act reach follows the ultimate parent — an EU subsidiary is not a jurisdictional firewall.

    red
  • Microsoft AzureHosting / cloud

    red
  • CloudflareCDN

    US-incorporated (Cloudflare, Inc.); the Data Localization Suite is a meaningful mitigation on the data-location + processing dimensions, but the parent-jurisdiction fact is unchanged and the CLOUD Act still reaches the entity. Overall red by the "worst dimension wins" rule.

    red
