High Risk
Services with significant US connections, potentially subject to US surveillance laws like FISA 702, Executive Order 12333, and the CLOUD Act. Your data could be accessed without your knowledge or consent.
Medium Risk
Services with some US connections but with strong privacy measures and EU data storage. These providers implement additional safeguards but may still have some exposure to foreign surveillance.
Low Risk
EU-based services with strong GDPR compliance, local data storage, and no US ties. These providers offer the highest level of data sovereignty and protection from foreign surveillance laws.
