The Principality is committed to protecting the privacy, rights, and data of all users. As a sovereign subject of international law, we uphold the highest standards of digital independence and privacy protection.
2. Commitment to Digital Sovereignty
The Principality of Kaharagia recognises that data sovereignty is a core function of modern statehood. Accordingly:
-
All public services are hosted within European data centres, primarily in Germany and Switzerland
-
No personal data is routed through or stored on infrastructure owned by foreign surveillance regimes
-
We reject all data access demands from third countries or supranational authorities that contradict the laws of the Principality
Transition Policy:
The Principality will complete its full independence from U.S.-based digital infrastructure by Quarter 1 of 2026.
All national digital operations will then rely exclusively on open-source, self-managed software hosted on European soil.
3. Location of Administrative Offices
The Principality of Kaharagia maintains offices and administrative presence in the United States. However, all state digital infrastructure and official data systems are governed solely by Kaharagian law, regardless of physical operator location.

Are trained in ethical data access, confidentiality, and security policy
