# EU Data Sovereignty Requirements
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This skill operates under EU data sovereignty principles, ensuring all data remains within EU jurisdiction and complies with applicable regulations.
|
|
|
|
## Regulatory Framework
|
|
|
|
### GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
|
|
|
|
Key requirements for infrastructure operators:
|
|
|
|
1. **Data Residency** - Personal data of EU residents must be processed in compliance with GDPR, regardless of where processing occurs
|
|
2. **Legal Basis** - All data processing must have a valid legal basis (consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task, or legitimate interests)
|
|
3. **Data Subject Rights** - Infrastructure must support right to access, rectification, erasure, portability, and objection
|
|
4. **Security** - Appropriate technical and organizational measures required
|
|
|
|
### Schrems II Implications
|
|
|
|
Following the Court of Justice ruling (C-311/18):
|
|
|
|
- Standard Contractual Clauses alone may not be sufficient for US transfers
|
|
- Supplementary measures may be required
|
|
- Self-hosted EU infrastructure avoids many transfer concerns
|
|
|
|
## Implementation in This Skill
|
|
|
|
### Encryption
|
|
|
|
- **GPG Keys**: Generated and stored locally on EU infrastructure
|
|
- **No Cloud KMS**: Keys never leave the operator's control
|
|
- **Pass Store**: Encrypted at rest with local GPG keys
|
|
|
|
### Network Access
|
|
|
|
- **Cloudflare Tunnels**: Traffic routed through EU Cloudflare PoPs when possible
|
|
- **No Direct US Routing**: Configure Cloudflare region preferences
|
|
- **SSH Keys**: Ed25519 primary (modern, efficient)
|
|
|
|
### Data Storage
|
|
|
|
- **GitOps Repositories**: Stored on local EU infrastructure
|
|
- **Secrets**: Encrypted before storage, never in plaintext
|
|
- **Audit Logs**: Retained locally, not exported to non-EU services
|
|
|
|
## Jurisdiction
|
|
|
|
This skill is designed for operators in **Ireland (Dublin)** and assumes:
|
|
|
|
- Irish law applies as the primary jurisdiction
|
|
- Data Protection Commission (DPC) is the supervisory authority
|
|
- Irish implementation of GDPR applies
|
|
|
|
## Compliance Checklist
|
|
|
|
Before deploying infrastructure bootstrapped with this skill:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Identify lawful basis for any personal data processing
|
|
- [ ] Document data flows and storage locations
|
|
- [ ] Implement appropriate access controls
|
|
- [ ] Establish incident response procedures
|
|
- [ ] Configure data retention policies
|
|
- [ ] Prepare for data subject requests
|
