Technology

Recognizing the global landscape of technologies, we strategically prioritize European technology for its innovation, reliability, and adherence to regulatory compliance, including the stringent privacy laws such as GDPR. This preference reflects our confidence in European technology providers and ensures compliance with privacy regulations concerning European citizens' data. This choice is a testament to our belief in the value European technology brings, not a judgment on the quality of global technology. In this section, we aim to provide transparency about the technology choices we make, detailing the criteria and considerations that guide our decisions.
