BEE is a service of BEE Content Design, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

The entire BEE system infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (Ireland region), using multiple instances propagated inside multiple availability zones.

Everything from internal security policies to the AWS account is managed directly by Growens. As a EU-based company, Growens is particularly committed to GDPR compliance: you can read more about its infrastructure and focus on GDPR compliance at https://www.mailup.com/gdpr-infrastructure/
