I live in Denmark and am exploring the option of using Ubuntu and Ubuntu One in the Danish state schools.

And in this context, I have looked a little into Danish law on cloud servies and data security.

And I would therefore like to know which countries Ubuntu One's U1 servers are located when I'm accessing my Ubuntu One data from Denmark.

And if they are located in multiple data centers/countries, which security methods are used to secure data transfer between them?

This is interesting to me in the UK too: the Data Protection Act in the UK has some requirements about data not being stored outside the European Economic Area. – fluteflute May 8 '11 at 17:27
