Urgent Request: Nextcloud Calendar Integration for GDPR Compliance

    Dear Amelia Support Team,

    I am writing to emphasize the urgent need for Nextcloud Calendar integration within Amelia, particularly due to the growing legal and economic tensions between the EU and the USA regarding data sovereignty and compliance with GDPR.?? The Problem:

    Currently, Amelia only supports Google and Microsoft Outlook calendars, both of which store data on US-based servers.

    • This creates a serious compliance risk for businesses operating under GDPR regulations.
    • Many professionals in healthcare, law, and finance are legally required to store client data within the EU.
    • The ongoing EU-US trade and data privacy conflicts are leading to increasingly strict enforcement against US-based cloud services.

    ?? Why Nextcloud?

    • Nextcloud is fully GDPR-compliant and widely adopted by businesses seeking self-hosted and EU-based cloud solutions.
    • A growing number of businesses and professionals are actively moving away from US cloud providers due to regulatory uncertainties.
    • Without Nextcloud support, Amelia risks losing a significant portion of its potential EU market.

    ?? The Solution: Nextcloud CalDAV Integration

    I strongly urge your team to prioritize the development of CalDAV support to enable bidirectional Nextcloud synchronization. This would:
    ? Ensure full GDPR compliance
    ? Allow users to self-host their data securely
    ? Future-proof Amelia’s presence in the EU market
    ? Prevent customer churn as EU regulations tighten

    This is not just a compliance issue—it is a business-critical feature that will significantly impact Amelia’s competitiveness in Europe.

    ?? Call to Action

    • Could you provide any timeline or roadmap for Nextcloud (CalDAV) support?
    • Is there an existing feature request that we can upvote?
    • Would your team be open to collaborating with Nextcloud developers to speed up implementation?

    I appreciate your time and consideration. Amelia is an excellent system, but without Nextcloud support, many professionals—including myself—will be forced to seek alternative solutions.

    I look forward to your response.

    Best regards,
    Psychotherapist
