CLOUD Act status for 198 tools

Short answer: US authorities can, with a court order, request data from US companies regardless of where the data is stored, even on servers in the EU. Of the 198 tools we have reviewed, 72 (36 %) are controlled from outside the EU (usually the USA), while 115 (58 %) are Swedish or European and outside the reach of the CLOUD Act. Read the background in our CLOUD Act guide.

Important nuance: "Outside the EU" does not automatically mean the USA. The column shows may be covered because most tools in the group are American, but Swiss, British and Chinese vendors are subject to other third-country laws. Check each tool page for details. This is an overview, not legal advice.

Common questions

Is ChatGPT covered by the CLOUD Act?

Yes. OpenAI is an American company and is therefore covered by the CLOUD Act regardless of where data is stored. EU data storage exists, but only for Enterprise/Edu customers.

Are Microsoft 365 and Copilot covered by the CLOUD Act?

Yes. Microsoft is American and is covered by the CLOUD Act even when data is stored within the EU Data Boundary.

Is Slack covered by the CLOUD Act?

Yes. Slack is owned by US Salesforce. EU data storage for messages also requires a Business+ plan or higher.

Is Zoom covered by the CLOUD Act?

Yes. Zoom Communications is American. Paying customers can choose EU storage for meeting content, but account data is handled in the US.

Is Canva covered by the CLOUD Act?

No, Canva is Australian, not American. But the company is outside the EU and data is stored outside the EU by default, so other third-country risks apply.

Is Proton covered by the CLOUD Act?

No. Proton is Swiss and under Swiss law. Switzerland is outside the EU but has the EU's approval for data protection (adequacy decision).

Is Mistral covered by the CLOUD Act?

No. Mistral AI is French and under EU law. That is one reason we highlight it as a European first choice for AI chat.

Is DeepSeek covered by the CLOUD Act?

No, but DeepSeek is Chinese and stores data in China, where the state has extensive legal access. It is not a safer choice, just a different jurisdiction.
