EU-first content infrastructure
Data residency is a default, not a plan. Here is what keeping content in the EU actually means in practice.

“EU-hosted” gets thrown around loosely. Here is what it means when Forge says it.
Where the bytes live
Content, media, and metadata are stored on servers physically located in the European Economic Area. Backups, too. There is no overseas replica you did not ask for.
Who processes what
Sub-processors are all EU-based: hosting, the CDN edge, outbound transactional email, payment processing. The list is short and published, not buried in a long privacy policy.
Why it matters
For a content tool, residency is not a checkbox. It decides which law applies to your data, how fast a regulator can act, and whether a transfer agreement is even part of the conversation. Starting inside the EU removes the question.
