# only-eu.eu

> Curated directory of 220+ European alternatives to popular products and services. Covers software, hardware and consumer brands across 35 categories. Every provider is verified: EU/EEA/Swiss headquarters, no US parent company, GDPR-compliant data handling. Bilingual (German/English).

only-eu.eu helps individuals and businesses in Europe find privacy-respecting, locally accountable alternatives to well-known non-European products. Listings span digital software (cloud storage, email, VPN, analytics, project management), hardware (smartphones, audio, smart home), and consumer products (fashion, cosmetics, furniture, food). Each product is editorially verified against three criteria: European headquarters, no US parent company or controlling ownership, and GDPR-compliant data processing.

The site does not sell products. Revenue comes from clearly disclosed affiliate links on select product pages. Community members can suggest new products via a public suggestion form.
