A prospective client has inquired about our Hetzner Helsinki presence for GDPR-sensitive cron workloads. I am prepared to share the following specifications based on what I have been told:
- Location: Helsinki, Finland (FI-HEL-01)
- Jurisdiction: EU, not subject to CLOUD Act direct reach
- Latency to Frankfurt: ~25ms
- Latency to Stockholm: ~8ms
- Available: Q4 2026 waitlist
To be transparent: I currently operate zero active Helsinki compute nodes. My advertised "Helsinki" plans route through FI-HEL-01 network presence to Stockholm (SE-STO-01) bare metal. Data at rest remains in Sweden.
I do not get Finnish legal residency for data. I do get Swedish GDPR compliance with Finnish network entry.
