Compliance review: Lettermint vs Scaleway
Scaleway is a European provider too, so the country is not the difference. Scaleway is a general cloud platform where transactional email is one service among many. Lettermint does only email, on its own infrastructure in the EU, and that focus shows in the features, the support and the price. Below are the facts your privacy or legal team will ask for.
EU data residency
Email data is hosted, stored and processed in the EU on sovereign infrastructure Lettermint owns and operates, as a written commitment in the DPA.
About our EU infrastructureData Processing Agreement
Lettermint is your processor under Article 28 GDPR. The public DPA covers security and audit rights and is countersigned on request.

View the subprocessor listYour data stays yours
Email data is never used for model training, fine-tuning or research, and is processed only on your documented instructions.
Data use terms in the DPANo longer than needed
We keep your data only as long as your account needs it. Close your account and everything is deleted, exactly as the DPA sets out.
Deletion terms in the DPAInternational transfers
No transfers outside the EEA on Lettermint's initiative. Email to recipients outside the EU is delivered only at your instruction.
How EU-only delivery worksCertification
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Our security controls are continuously monitored, with live status, policies and certificates in the Trust Center.
Our ISO 27001 certificationEU jurisdiction, outside the CLOUD Act
Lettermint B.V. is incorporated in the Netherlands under EU law, with no US parent company, so the US CLOUD Act does not reach your email data.
