p]:max-w-[620px]">05 — WHY EUA European, GDPR-compliant search API<br>Sovereignty isn't a flag. It's a guarantee about where your data lives, which courts protect it, and who can read it.
✦Data stays where the law protects it.<br>Your data stays under EU jurisdiction, in EU data centres, with EU-only routing available.
✦GDPR is the floor, not the ceiling.<br>Privacy by design. No third-party tracking, no behavioural profiling, and no exposure to the US CLOUD Act.
✦Every answer cites its source.<br>Source-first results. Every result returned by the API is linked back to its origin — auditable, attributable, and never a black box.
