- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Slovakia customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Slovakia.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with National Bank of Slovakia applies to your model.

Hosting and data residency for a digital wallet & E-Wallet app in Slovakia
For clients in Slovakia we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
