## What stays the same on every page

- **European infrastructure**: Lettermint owns and operates its infrastructure and IP ranges (AS213427) in the EU. Email data is hosted, stored and processed in the EU, as a written commitment in the [DPA](https://lettermint.co/dpa.md).
- **EU jurisdiction**: Lettermint B.V. is incorporated in the Netherlands under EU law, privately held and founder-owned, with no US parent company, so the US CLOUD Act does not reach your email data.
- **Documented, not claimed**: the [DPA](https://lettermint.co/dpa.md) applies automatically to every customer, every subprocessor is listed on the [subprocessors page](https://lettermint.co/subprocessors.md), and the ISO 27001 certification and continuously monitored controls are in the [Trust Center](https://trust.lettermint.co).
- **One account for all email**: [transactional](https://lettermint.co/features/transactional-emails), [broadcast](https://lettermint.co/features/broadcast-emails) and [inbound](https://lettermint.co/features/inbound-emails) email, with separate IP pools for transactional and broadcast sending.
- **Developer tools**: REST API, SMTP relay, official SDKs for Node.js, PHP, Laravel, Symfony, Python, Go, Java, .NET, Rust and Elixir, webhooks, a Terraform provider, a CLI and an MCP server for AI agents.
- **Operations**: managed DKIM with automatic key rotation, IP restrictions for API tokens, spend limits, scheduled delivery up to 30 days and batch sending.

## Migrating to Lettermint

A migration takes four steps: add and verify your domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, replace your API token or SMTP credentials, import your suppression list as a CSV, and send a test email. The [Team API](https://lettermint.co/docs/api-reference/team/) covers every step, so the migration can be scripted end to end or run by an AI assistant through the [MCP server](https://lettermint.co/features/mcp.md). The [documentation](https://lettermint.co/docs/) has the details.
