Streaming services for movies and series have largely replaced traditional TV and DVDs, but US-based platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ track your viewing habits in detail and are subject to US surveillance laws.

European alternatives offer streaming capabilities with better privacy practices and data storage within EU jurisdiction under GDPR protection.
