Is it still safe to trust US cloud tools with your data?

What happens when your customer data is governed by the wrong jurisdiction?
In this episode of Couch Confidentials, I sit down with , CEO and co-founder of DinMo, a composable CDP vendor headquartered in Paris. With growing political tensions between the US and Europe, and cities like Amsterdam actively moving away from US-hosted platforms, I wanted to understand whether it’s still safe—or smart—for European companies to continue relying on US-based cloud tools.
Oussama offers a candid look at the risks European businesses face when their data leaves the continent, and why composable, locally governed architectures are gaining traction. We also talk about building privacy-first tools, data sovereignty, and what it takes to offer enterprise-grade CDP capabilities without compromising on control.
This episode is equal parts geopolitics, growth strategy, and a reminder that where your data lives, really does matter.
🇫🇷 Bonus: Oussama might just convince you to drop by his Paris office—if the croissants don’t lure you in first.
