About Switch-to.EU
Switch-to.EU is a community-driven platform that helps users easily switch from non-EU digital services to EU alternatives through clear, step-by-step migration guides.
Our goal is to promote digital sovereignty and data privacy by making it easier for users to find and migrate to services hosted within the European Union.
Our Three Pillars
European Alternatives
We curate and maintain a comprehensive directory of EU-based digital services across various categories - from email providers and cloud storage to social media and productivity tools.
Step-by-Step Guides
We provide detailed, user-friendly migration guides that walk you through the process of moving your data and digital life from global services to European alternatives.
Community Driven
This platform is built by the community, for the community. All our guides and service listings are maintained through open collaboration, and we welcome contributions from anyone interested in promoting EU digital services.
Why Choose EU-Based Digital Services?
Choosing EU-based services offers several advantages that align with European values and regulations:
Data Privacy & Protection
EU-based digital services operate under the stringent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), giving you greater control over your personal data. Your information is treated as your property, not a commodity to be sold or shared without your explicit consent.
Ethical Business Practices
European digital services often prioritize sustainable and ethical business models that don't rely heavily on surveillance capitalism. Instead of monetizing your attention and personal information, many EU alternatives focus on providing quality services through transparent subscription models.
Digital Sovereignty
Using EU-based services helps reduce dependence on big tech monopolies and supports a more diverse digital ecosystem. This contributes to technological independence for Europe and promotes innovation through healthy competition.
Consumer Rights
The EU has established some of the world's strongest consumer protection laws in the digital realm. When using EU-based services, you benefit from clear terms of service, transparent pricing, and robust mechanisms for dispute resolution if something goes wrong.
Join Our Mission
Digital sovereignty isn't just about where your data is stored—it's about having genuine choice and control in your digital life. By switching to EU-based services, you're taking an important step toward a more balanced, user-respecting digital ecosystem.
