Frequently asked questions
What is the best European alternative to Amazon OpenSearch Service?
So far our directory lists one European alternative to Amazon OpenSearch Service: Qdrant.
Is Amazon OpenSearch Service GDPR-compliant?
Amazon Web Services, Inc. is the operator, so anything indexed there sits under American jurisdiction. For a US company, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework covers transfers only if Amazon is certified under it; otherwise they need standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment, and US laws such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data either way.
