I think you're missing the point - you may need to move to your own infrastructure for security, privacy, regulatory or accountability reasons.

Which compliance regulation require you not to use a cloud provider? At most they may require you to not share a server with another company - that can be done with a drop down - or the data has to be hosted locally - again that can be done by selecting a region.

The policies that say not to use a company controlled by the US government. Or the ones that say under no circumstances should the data be sent over the Internet to a third party "because OPs are hard".

Which regulation or policy? Which certification? Name names. It’s not any of the financial, legal, or health care compliance regulations that I’m aware of.

In short most of German laws make it incredibly risky (but not forbidden) to use any american company for any kind of data that can be resolved to the underlying person. (Eg. a lot of companies got their warning shot when "safe harbor" exploded, if the same happens with https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome a world of shit awaits)

That said “transferring data” not “American ownership”. If it is required that your data doesn’t leave the country, just use a region in the EU.
