2. EU GDPR and GDPR rights

Event Store is a UK entity that complies with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) regarding the management of our employees' and customers' personal data.

If you use our Event Store Cloud, you agree with our Data Processing Addendum (DPA).

Please remember that it is your responsibility to handle the personal data that you store in your EventStoreDB according to the GDPR or any other personal data regulation.

To make your GDPR compliance easier, you can choose a country within Europe where your servers are deployed in our cloud providers' portfolio.

The rights afforded by GDPR are as follows:

  • The right to be informed
  • The right of access
  • The right to rectification
  • The right to erasure
  • The right to restrict processing
  • The right to data portability
  • The right to object

Event Store hosts personal data under these two scenarios:

  • You are an Event Store end user who has provided us with your contact details (reaching us in any of our web forms, registering for our newsletter, signing into our forum, etc.). You can exercise your rights by reaching out to privacy@kurrent.io.
  • You have provided your personal data to an Event Store customer who has stored it in a KurrentDB cluster hosted in Kurrent Cloud. You will have to contact that Event Store customer to exercise your rights, as Event Store has no access to that data.

If you have shared personal data in our GitHub repositories, then please contact GitHub.

7. Availability

Kurrent Cloud applies multiple strategies to reduce potential downtime:

  • We use first-class cloud providers.
  • You can choose to use a three-node multi-zone cluster to avoid disruptions that could affect one server or an entire zone.

You can check Kurrent Cloud uptime here. You can find more information about our Service Level Agreement (SLA) here. To reduce latency, you can choose a country closer to your location from our cloud providers' portfolio.

8. Confidentiality

Kurrent Cloud servers are encrypted at rest. Provider block level volume encryption is utilized via each cloud provider’s block storage implementation. Each encryption key is unique to each Kurrent Cloud organization, and is managed within that cloud’s native key manager.

Your Kurrent Cloud servers are not accessible from the Internet. To access them, you have to establish a peering link between Kurrent Cloud network and your own virtual private cloud (VPC).

gRPC and management traffic is encrypted in transit via TLS 1.3.
