On-premise / self-hosted

On-premises, also known as self-hosted, is a setup that allows databases and software to be implemented 100% on your own infrastructure. In practice, it means that you know where your data is stored, how it’s handled and who gets hold of it. This is because you keep the data on your own servers. In this way, you avoid the risk of sharing data with third parties.
