About NativeEU
What is NativeEU?
NativeEU is an independent directory of European software alternatives to dominant non-European products. We help individuals and businesses find privacy-first, GDPR-compliant tools that are built and hosted in Europe.
Why it matters
Digital sovereignty is not just a policy goal — it affects where your data lives, which laws protect it, and who can access it. NativeEU makes it easy to find software that keeps your data in Europe, under European jurisdiction.
How we rank products
Products are ranked by NativeScore, a transparent 0-10 rating based on verifiable attributes: EU hosting, open source status, encryption, self-hosting availability, parent company jurisdiction, and data hosting location. Affiliate relationships never influence rankings.
Editorial independence
NativeEU is not affiliated with, funded by, or controlled by any of the products it lists. Editorial decisions are based on published criteria, not commercial relationships.
Affiliate disclosure
We may earn a commission from some outbound links, at no extra cost to you. This does not affect what we list, how products rank, what we verify, or what we feature.
