Why European?
Reasons to choose European products
Support Local Businesses
When you buy from local businesses, you are supporting yourself down the road. Taxes paid by the company come back to you indirectly and the company creates jobs in your region.
Data Protection / GDPR
Some companies outside Europe tend to ignore data protection and related laws such as the GDPR or do not implement them correctly.
VAT / Billing
As a business that operates in Europe, it is possible to get a VAT refund for products/services of other European companies. European companies also tend to offer payment methods commonly used in Europe.
Similar Legal Requirements
Within the EU, many laws and framework conditions are set by the EU, which helps to cover a large market without having to consider large country-specific differences.
