Why We Built This
Promoting Digital Sovereignty and privacy for European citizens and businesses.
The Problem with US Tech
The modern web is dominated by a handful of US-based giants. While they build great products, they often come with a hidden cost: Privacy.
Under the US Cloud Act, US authorities can access data stored on US servers (and even servers owned by US companies abroad) without a warrant dependent on local laws. This fundamentally conflicts with European values and GDPR.
The Privacy Gap
- ✕ US Cloud Act Surveillance
- ✕ Data monetization
- ✕ Vendor lock-in
The European Alternative
- ✓ GDPR Compliance by design
- ✓ Data stored in Europe
- ✓ Local legal protection
Why "Made in EU"?
European tech companies are thriving. From Hetzner for hosting to Proton for privacy, the ecosystem is mature and competitive.
TechAlternatives.eu is a curated directory to highlight these champions. We want to make it easy for developers and CTOs to choose sovereign tech stacks without compromising on quality.
Privacy First
We prioritizes tools that respect user data and offer end-to-end encryption.
Open Source
We love open source. Transparency builds trust, which is essential for security.
Independent
This project is not affiliated with any specific vendor. We just want a better web.
