DeepL Moves to AWS: Mandatory US Cloud Storage for German Translation Service (heise.de)

• DeepL now stores all data on AWS by default.
• Previous EU storage option eliminated; consent required.
• Critics warn of lost data sovereignty and US government access.

"German translation service DeepL has changed its terms of service, now storing all customer data on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers in the US by default. Users who object to US-based processing must cancel their subscriptions. DeepL cites scalability and efficiency gains. Privacy advocates criticize the loss of choice and warn of potential access by US authorities under the Cloud Act. The move eliminates the previous option to keep data within the EU."
