France IX Services is registered in Paris, and its legal notice names no foreign shareholder or parent company. The privacy policy states that the company prefers to store personal data inside the European Union and that its servers are located there. Where it uses providers outside the EU, such as HubSpot, Google, Oracle or Dropbox, it relies on standard contractual clauses or on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For a European organisation the operator is established in the EU; the point to check is which service providers process customer and billing data.
