TikTok has launched a new European data center in Finland, marking a key step in its strategy to localize data storage for European users. The facility, located in Haminanmaa, is operated in collaboration with Norwegian data center specialist Green Mountain and represents part of TikTok’s “Project Clover” – a transparency and data governance initiative aimed at bolstering trust among European regulators.
The Finnish data center will store TikTok user data from the European Economic Area and the UK, aligning with regional data protection laws and enhancing control over information flow. According to Green Mountain, the partnership will also leverage renewable energy sources, reinforcing both companies’ commitments to sustainability.
TikTok said the move aims to “strengthen existing privacy controls” and enable greater oversight by third-party European cybersecurity firms. A second data center in Ireland is also in progress.
With this strategic investment, Finland joins the growing Nordic role in powering the global digital economy through green, secure infrastructure.
