Where is my data stored when I use MyAirBridge?
Data uploaded to MyAirBridge is stored in a data centre in Prague, Czech Republic. It stays within the European Union and therefore under the GDPR framework.
Physical location
Files are stored on servers located in Prague, Czech Republic, operated in a professional data centre environment.
For organisations that have to state where their data physically resides, this means the answer is a specific EU country rather than an unspecified global cloud region.
Why data location matters
- GDPR applies directly to data held in the European Union
- many companies and public bodies are required to keep data inside the EU
- legal jurisdiction over the data is clear
- transfer distances are shorter for European users, which affects speed
This is often a procurement requirement rather than a technical preference, and it is a common reason for choosing a European service over a US-based one.
Redundancy
On the Enterprise plan, storage is geo-redundant, which means data is kept in more than one physical location so that a hardware failure in one place does not cause data loss.
How long the data stays there
How long files remain stored depends on the type of transfer and the plan.
| Type | Availability |
|---|---|
| Free transfer | Expires automatically after three days |
| Paid plan transfer | Custom expiration, including no expiration |
| Data kept in storage | Stays until you delete it, within your plan capacity |
