In force from 11 November 2026. Last updated 11 November 2026.

Version 2026-11-11.4.

Your account, device and session data is stored and processed in the EU.

• Hosting and logs: Microsoft Azure, West Europe region (Netherlands).
• Database and its backups: Microsoft Azure, North Europe region (Ireland). Both regions are in the EU, and your data stays in the EU.
• Account emails: Azure Communication Services Email, EU data location.
• Shell traffic passes through our relay in West Europe. It is not stored.

Exceptions

Payments go through Stripe and Link, Stripe's reseller service, which may process billing data outside the EU under their own terms.

This site, the docs and the status page are served by Azure Static Web Apps, which delivers pages from a worldwide network. The server nearest a visitor sees their IP address, which can be outside the EU. The app at app.rescueshell.com and downloads at releases.rescueshell.com do not go through it: they are served from West Europe.

Mail you send to our support and privacy addresses is read by Anthropic's AI, which stores it in the US. See the privacy policy.
