How and Where is WrkLst Hosted?
On this page
WrkLst runs on European cloud infrastructure. Your records are stored in Germany, Finland and Switzerland.
Where your data lives
The primary WrkLst servers are hosted with Hetzner in Germany, one of Europe's leading data centre operators. Redundant infrastructure runs in Helsinki, Finland, and backups are held in Switzerland. Optional AI processing also runs on servers in Switzerland — see Does WrkLst use AI on my data?.
Switzerland is not a member state of the European Union. The safeguards that apply to data held there are set out in the WrkLst Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.
Why European hosting matters
Keeping your records on European servers means they stay within European data protection law.
Speed, wherever you are
WrkLst is used all over the world, and European hosting does not mean a slow connection from elsewhere. WrkLst pays for Cloudflare Argo premium routing, which carries your traffic over the fastest available network paths instead of the default ones. The result is that the application stays quick whether you are opening it in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles or Hong Kong. Cloudflare, a US company, carries the connection between your browser and the WrkLst servers; see Third-party services below.
Renewable energy
The data centres WrkLst uses run on 100% renewable energy, including hydropower at the Finnish facility. See Is WrkLst a 'green' service? for more.
Third-party services
For a full list of the third-party services WrkLst relies on, see the WrkLst Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
