Our assessment of Panama
The legal analysis for Panama is published once, in the Jurisdiction Matrix, alongside the other eight regions and the method behind the ratings — so there is one version to correct rather than two that drift apart. Read the Panama assessment.
What a copyright complaint does here
It is acknowledged inside 24 hours, logged, and forwarded to you. Nothing is removed and no instance is suspended on the complaint itself. In Panama a removal follows from one thing, and only this:
- an order from a court in Panama
A notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512 is not on that list. That section conditions a United States liability shield we do not hold — no US entity, infrastructure, bank account or assets — and it carries no extraterritoriality provision. The copyright policy sets out the rest of the procedure, including what we tell a complainant and what we do not.
Pricing in this region
The regional factor is ×1.20, applied to the whole configuration. Transit and power cost us more here than in our EU regions, and we pass that through rather than averaging it into everyone's bill. The table below applies it to every plan, and the configurator applies it to custom builds the same way.
Every plan, at the Panama City factor
What each plan costs once the ×1.20 Panama City factor is applied. Specifications, included features and the configurator are on the plans page — they are identical in every region, so only the price is worth restating here.
Panama City questions
Is hosting in Panama private?
Data retention: None applicable to hosting. Content takedown: Panamanian court order; no notice-and-takedown route. Panama is outside EU jurisdiction, and is not part of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangements. Mutual legal assistance is moderate here. A US criminal investigation has a formal route here: the bilateral treaty on mutual legal assistance in force since the mid-1990s, and the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, acceded to in 2014. A request under either is executed under Panamanian law, and we produce nothing until a Panamanian court orders us to. The full assessment, with the method behind those ratings, is published on the Jurisdiction Matrix.
