IMPLICATOR
ElevenLabs now stores European customer data in Europe. The move helps companies meet local privacy rules while using the firm's voice AI tools.
The data storage option comes with tough security measures. These include SOC2 certification, GDPR compliance, and end-to-end encryption. Companies can also choose "Zero Retention Mode" to prevent data from staying on servers.
ElevenLabs has deep European roots. Polish founders Mati Staniszewski and Piotr Dabkowski run offices in London and Warsaw. Last year, they invested $11M in Poland. The company works with major European firms like Deutsche Telekom and BILD.
The new local servers speed up service for European users. Enterprise customers can contact their account manager to set up European data storage.
The growth shows ElevenLabs' growing focus on Europe's AI market. Voice technology keeps improving, but privacy concerns remain key. By storing data locally, ElevenLabs makes it easier for European firms to use AI while following strict data rules.
Why this matters:
- As AI companies expand globally, they must adapt to local privacy laws - especially Europe's strict data rules
- Tech firms increasingly store data where their customers are, not just where it's cheapest
