European media procurement now routinely asks where AI processing happens, where audio samples are stored, and what the data-transfer chain looks like. The questions are real, and the answers determine whether a tool can be approved at all.
GDPR + EU AI Act in 2026
Synthetic content is regulated. Voice clones are biometric data under GDPR Art. 9. The EU AI Act adds transparency obligations for AI-generated content. None of this blocks AI video — it just requires the vendor to do the paperwork properly.
Why Switzerland
The Swiss nFADP aligns with GDPR and Switzerland holds a European Commission adequacy decision. Data residing in Switzerland avoids the cross-border-transfer question that complicates US-hosted vendors.
What to ask a vendor
Where is the rendering compute? Where are voice samples stored? Is there an in-product consent step before a clone is created? Can a clone be deleted on request, and what happens to past renders?
How FeedReels answers
Swiss-hosted infrastructure, in-product consent step for voice clones, workspace-owner-controlled deletion, and per-video provenance trail for audit. The Swiss Made badge in the product is not decoration — it reflects the residency choice.
