> In one example, it's a cloud storage company, they say on their marketing page and their about page that they are based in Switzerland and under Swiss law, but if you look at the legal pages the company you sign up with are actually based in Bulgaria. Their servers are based in Texas, USA and Luxemburg, Europe and their development team in Bulgaria.

Just out of curiosity, in this kind of situation what laws actually apply? Wouldn't that be the Bulgarian laws?

In the pcloud Terms & Conditions they say this:

"If a European Union user of the Site or Services is located outside of Switzerland, then, for the purposes of any claim or action relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Site, or any Services, the applicable jurisdiction will be the courts that are located in the territory of residence of such European User. "

If there are servers located on the US, they are absolutely covered by US law. In fact, all of the jurisdictions can apply in one way or another.

I think the physical location(s) of your stored data is probably the weakest link in the (legal) chain, so to speak.
