Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Who We Are

CloudAlternatives.eu is an independent directory of European software alternatives to US cloud services. We are committed to practising what we preach: your privacy is respected and your data stays under your control.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data to operate this website:

  • Analytics: We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, EU-hosted analytics tool. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track you across sites. All data is aggregated and anonymised.
  • Server logs: Our hosting provider (Vercel) may temporarily log IP addresses and request metadata for security and performance purposes. These logs are automatically deleted and are not used for tracking.
  • No cookies: This website does not set any cookies.
  • No forms: We do not currently collect any personal information through forms, newsletter signups, or account creation.

3. External Links

This site contains links to third-party software products. When you click an external link, you leave our site and are subject to the privacy policy of the destination website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

4. Your Rights Under GDPR

As we collect minimal data, most GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability) are not applicable. However, you always have the right to:

  • Request information about what data we process
  • Object to any data processing
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

5. Data Processing

We process data based on our legitimate interest in operating and improving this website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Given that we only use anonymised, aggregated analytics, the impact on your privacy is minimal.

6. Third-Party Services

  • Plausible Analytics — EU-hosted (Germany), GDPR-compliant, no personal data collected
  • Vercel — Hosting provider, processes requests in the nearest edge location
  • Google Fonts — Web fonts loaded from Google servers

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
