So you're saying you can't offer GDPR compliance because as long as US law isn't adjusted to restore the Privacy Shield guarantees, no US company can offer GDPR compliance, but you're providing best effort privacy guarantees and can offer GDPR compliance via self-hosting?

You should definitely adjust your messaging then because your announcement makes a big deal about your EU offering being GDPR compliant which it thus can't be. There's no such thing as "almost GDPR compliant". That's like "almost not getting fined". The customers asking you for hosting your service on AWS in Frankfurt were clearly misinformed if they did so because they thought it would provide them with GDPR compliance and it seems shady that you went along with it instead of informing them that only self-hosting with a non-US (and non-subsidiary) company can make them compliant.

I'm not a legal expert but this sounds like you're almost engaging in false advertising if you claim PostHog Cloud EU to be GDPR compliant.
