# Privacy[¶](#privacy "Permanent link")

The privacy of your users is our first priority. That's why Capawesome Cloud can be used fully GDPR-compliant. Read on to find out [what data we collect](#data-collection) and how you can protect the privacy of your users by choosing the [location](#location) of our servers.

## Data Collection[¶](#data-collection "Permanent link")

Capawesome Cloud does only collect the data that is necessary to provide the Live Updates feature. This includes the following information:

* **App ID**: A unique identifier for your app that is used to associate the app with the correct account.
* **App Version Code**: The version code of the app that is used to determine which updates are compatible with the app.
* **App Version Name**: The version name of the app that is used for display purposes.
* **Platform**: The platform (iOS, Android) of the app that is used to determine which updates are compatible with the app.
* **Device ID**: A unique identifier for the [device](/docs/cloud/live-updates/devices/) that is used to deliver updates to a specific device and for billing purposes. This identifier is a random string that is created when the app is started for the first time.
* **Bundle ID**: The unique identifier for the [bundle](/docs/cloud/live-updates/bundles/) that is currently installed on the device.
* **Channel Name**: The name of the [channel](/docs/cloud/live-updates/channels/) that is selected to receive updates.
* **OS Version**: The version of the operating system that is used to determine which updates are compatible with the device.
* **Plugin Version**: The version of the [Capacitor Live Update](/docs/plugins/live-update/) plugin that is used to deliver updates to the device.

You can verify the data that is collected by inspecting the source code of the Capacitor Live Update plugin, which is open-source and available on [GitHub](https://github.com/capawesome-team/capacitor-plugins/tree/main/packages/live-update).

## Location[¶](#location "Permanent link")

As you can see above, we generally do not collect any personal data but only transmit information that is required to provide the Live Updates. However, we take this one step further and offer our customers the option of using a European cloud in line with the motto **"EU-based & hosted"** as a European company. This way, you can ensure that not even connection information such as IP addresses leave the European Union.

To use the European cloud, simply set the `serverDomain` option in the [Capacitor Configuration](https://capacitorjs.com/docs/config) file to `api.cloud.capawesome.eu`:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1){
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-2)  "plugins": {
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-3)    "LiveUpdate": {
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-4)      "serverDomain": "api.cloud.capawesome.eu",
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-5)    }
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-6)  }
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-7)}
`

This way, all data is transmitted to our servers in the European Union. Feel free to check out this [Hosting Report](https://hosting-checker.net/websites/api.cloud.capawesome.eu) to see where our servers are located.

If you do not specify the `serverDomain` option, the default domain `api.cloud.capawesome.io` will be used, which utilizes servers all around the world. You can find more information about our privacy practices in our [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy-policy/).
