European data.
European infrastructure.
Store your analytical data in Germany, with a European operator and open table formats.
Or deploy LakehouseBox on infrastructure you control.
Germany
Data and backups
Your analytical data and its backups are stored in Germany.
Spain
Service operator
Operated by NewCo SL, a company in formation in Spain.
France
Operational services
Supporting services run on Scaleway in France.
Where your data lives
Hosted storage, metadata and backups remain in Germany.
Service resilience
European infrastructure for data storage and supporting services. State is copied off-host every 5 minutes, metadata hourly, data files nightly; the restore has been rehearsed. One site today, no failover yet.
Availability & recovery detailsProcessing happens where your agent or query engine runs. The tables stay here.

European ownership
and jurisdiction.
The CLOUD Act can reach data held by providers subject to US jurisdiction, even when stored in Europe.
Our approach is European operation and infrastructure, without a US cloud provider holding your hosted tables.
Hosting location alone does not determine legal exposure. Exposure follows the operator, its providers and the law that binds them.
Read our legal and security detailsWorking towards SEAL-4.
Our target under the European Commission's Cloud Sovereignty Framework, the assessment public buyers use for cloud services.

Full Digital Sovereignty
Evidence and assessment are required across the framework's eight objectives. SEAL levels are assigned by a contracting authority in a tender; nobody has assessed us.
Run it on your infrastructure.
Choose your provider, location and operating environment. Keep control of where the service runs.
- Your cloud
- Your data centre
- Your jurisdiction
Deploy on infrastructure that meets the documented requirements. Beta: a compose file and deploy scripts, one node per install; licence and support terms are being decided.
Self-hosting detailsWhat we're improving.
We're continuing to reduce external dependencies.
| Source code hosting | Under review | Evaluating European hosting options. |
| TLS certificates | Under review | Evaluating alternatives for certificate issuance. |
These services do not store your analytical tables. Certificate issuance remains necessary for HTTPS availability.
The full list of what we depend on outside the EU, checked 2026-09-22
None of these parties holds customer data or sits in the data path. Each entry says what an outage or a withdrawal could affect. We re-check this list and change the date when we do.
| Dependency | Who | What it can affect | What it cannot affect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source code hosting | GitHub (Microsoft, US) | Where we collaborate on the code and where CI runs. Every checkout is a full copy of the repository. | The running service, your data. |
| Container images | Docker Hub (US) for the reverse proxy image; our storage and catalog image is our own build, pulled from a European registry (Scaleway, Paris) | Pulling images for a new deployment. Images are pinned by digest; a registry outage delays a deploy, not the service already running. | The running service, your data. |
| TLS certificates | Let's Encrypt (ISRG, US) | Certificate renewal for our hostnames. A withdrawal would mean changing the certificate authority. | Your data; the certificate authority never sees traffic. |
| Query-engine extensions on your side | DuckDB's extension repository, on your machine when you run INSTALL iceberg | Installing the engine where your agent runs. Our browser panel serves DuckDB and its extensions from lakehousebox.com instead. | Your stored tables; any Iceberg reader can read them. |
Mirrors for the source code and the container images inside the EU are planned; there is no date. When they exist, this list will say so with the date of the check.
