We have a client who has requested that all their data stay in the EU to
adhere to data privacy laws they are governed by. Is this a possibility
in Appengine?
No, or at least not at the moment.
However, if you are referring to mainstream European Data Protection
legislation rather than something more specialised, then see: -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_Harbor_Principles
"US-EU Safe Harbor is a streamlined process for US companies to comply
with the EU Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of personal data.
Intended for organizations within the EU or US that store customer data,
the Safe Harbor Principles are designed to prevent accidental
information disclosure or loss. US companies can opt into the program as
long as they adhere to the 7 principles outlined in the Directive."
...which may cover you if you host such data on App Engine.
IANAL, etc. etc - but worth looking into to see if it covers your
intended usage.
