Data location stated
Where the data sits decides who can demand access to it and whether a transfer is one at all. It does not by itself decide which privacy law applies.
2440 of 8315 companies we measured publish it, that is 29%. Last checked 2026-10-21.
How the company counts work
Every figure on this page counts companies, not product entries. A company with several products counts once. A finding at any of its products places that company in the found group.

Published
The hosting location is stated on a public page.
2,440 companies published it. Too many to list on one page. The full list is split by category above, and every single result is also on the vendor profile it belongs to.
No statement about data location found.
We reached at least one address for each of these vendors and none of them carried it. That is what we found at the addresses we checked, on the date we checked them, and not a statement about what the vendor has.
5,875 companies were reached and did not carry it at the addresses we checked. Too many to list on one page. The full list is split by category above, and every single result is also on the vendor profile it belongs to.
Not measured
We could not reach these vendors, or their robots.txt asks us not to. This says something about our measurement, not about them. They are left out of the percentage above.
576 companies could not be measured by us. Too many to list on one page. The full list is split by category above, and every single result is also on the vendor profile it belongs to.
Found something we missed? Tell us. A correction moves that vendor into our next nightly run. That run reads the same fixed addresses we check for every vendor, not the address you send.
