Summary

Serverpod Cloud had no docs page covering GDPR, so anyone evaluating it had nowhere to confirm where their data lives or how it is handled. This adds a short reference page under Deploy.

This PR:

  • Adds docs/08-deployments/02-gdpr-compliance.md covering data residency (Frankfurt, on Google Cloud Platform and Neon), Google LLC's participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 / 27701:2019 certifications of the underlying providers.
  • States plainly that Serverpod itself is not yet ISO or SOC 2 certified, and links out to Google Cloud compliance and Neon security.
  • Bumps the Custom hosting category to position 3 so the new page sits right after Deploy to Serverpod Cloud.

Closes #569

A few thoughts:

  1. Not in docs/08-deployments/. That section is framework docs for self-hosting. This page only describes Cloud properties (Frankfurt, GCP, Neon), so it belongs in cloud_docs/.
  2. "Compliance" is the better section name than "Legal". "Legal" reads as formal documents (Terms, Privacy Policy). The content here is trust/compliance framing.
  3. Two shapes within cloud_docs/:
    • Flat page at cloud_docs/compliance.md if this stays a one-pager.
    • New section at cloud_docs/compliance/ if more pages are coming in the nearest future.

Reference and Concepts don't fit: Reference is narrow technical lookups, Concepts is platform capabilities.
