Last updated: January 20, 2026
Introduction
Best European Alternatives ("BEA", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit my website at bestalternatives.eu.
As a European-focused directory promoting privacy-respecting alternatives, I practice what I preach by minimizing data collection and being transparent about my practices.
Data I collect
Analytics data
I use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors interact with my website. This service collects only anonymized, aggregated data such as:
- Page views and visitor counts
- Geographic region (country-level only)
- Device type and browser information
- Referral sources
No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics. Vercel Analytics is privacy-focused and does not use cookies or track individual users across sessions.
Product submissions
If you submit a product to my directory, I collect the information you provide in the submission form, which may include:
- Product name and description
- Website URL
- Company location
- Category information
This information is used solely for the purpose of reviewing and potentially adding the product to my directory.
Cookies
I do not use cookies. My website functions without storing any cookies on your device. This means there are no tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any other type of cookies used by my website.
Third-Party services
My website uses the following third-party services:
- Vercel — Hosting and anonymized analytics (global CDN has 126 Points of Presence in 94 cities across 51 countries.)
- Supabase — Database infrastructure (hosted in the EU)
I have chosen these services for their commitment to privacy and, where applicable, their EU-based infrastructure.
Your rights under GDPR
As I collect minimal data, most GDPR rights have limited applicability. However, you have the right to:
- Access — Request information about any data I hold about you
- Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure — Request deletion of your data
- Objection — Object to processing of your data
If you have submitted a product and wish to have it removed or modified, please contact me.
Data security
I take reasonable measures to protect any information collected. My infrastructure uses HTTPS encryption, and my database provider (Supabase) implements industry-standard security practices.
Changes to this policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
