Poorly bunny has many us services that get your personal data. https://bunny.net/privacy/ Tableau will receive your personal, billing and account consumption details. MixPanel will receive your personal account details as well as information. Active Campaign will receive your personal, billing, and account consumption information.

From https://bunny.net/gdpr:

> How does bunny.net comply with GDPR?

> bunny.net is fully committed to complying with the GDPR. We have overhauled our user Privacy & Data policy and taken steps to ensure no personally identifiable data is stored from your users that access your services through bunny.net by anonymizing any data that could be used to directly or indirectly identify a user. [..]

Looks like they share personal data of Bunny customers but not the users of the customer's services.

Bunny.net explicitly names third parties handling user data, while Cloudflare’s policy is more vague, referring only to "third-party service providers" without listing specific companies. I like the bunny policy more. It is more transparent.

Yes and yes.

But still good to know if someone pick a service with this intention: "I’ve been looking at European alternatives to my current hosting situation, which is Cloudflare."

I was surprised by that too: typically I’ve only seen such high latency on Netlify based sites which exclusively uses aws-east for the whole world.

This is not accurate. I do not know the details but netlify served things from a CDN by default if you set things up correctly with a CNAME entry in your DNS record.

People often misconfigure things by pointing their domain to netlify's IP with an A entry, but this is a user problem, not a netlify problem.

I'm sure their builds/functions run in a single region but not static files

Context for comment readers. Author switched as was looking for a non-US provider

Though that makes little sense in the context of a CDN. I think Bunny uses US providers like Zenlayer for their egress there, so they’re just a middle man in my understanding. I don’t think there’s any EU provider that runs their own CDN hardware infrastructure in the US.

It makes fine sense…

It means all the data captured in the EU is governed by EU data protection / ePrivacy etc regulations and the CLOUD Act doesn’t apply

Whereas a US CDN vendor is captured by requirements the CLOUD Act and so there’s no guarantee of privacy for EU site visitors

The US has started a war with many of its allies, including Europe. Obviously that means European users will be looking to remove hostile actors from its supply chain.

There is a long-standing dispute between Cloudflare and Germany's biggest ISP, Telekom, which results in terrible peering for Cloudflare free traffic for Telekom customers here. Sites on the Cloudflare Pro plan are not affected by this somehow. If the author is a Telekom customer, then they would absolutely see 100ms+ improvements.

Seems like they upgraded their abysmal 40Gbps peering, tho.

Yeah but it’s like using a EU vendor that hosts on AWS, if the US government wants the data they’ll just subpoena AWS instead of the EU provider. I get that it’s better but anything hosted on US soil is under jurisdiction of the US government regardless of whether it’s ultimately owned by a EU vendor.
