Advice for an EU (and in any case non-spying) Dynamic DNS provider? (diggita.com)

I'm starting to play with an old laptop that I have installed Ubuntu Server on, with Nextcloud and Docker.

Using Docker Compose I installed Nginx and now I would like to try to do the DDNS thing on a domain that I registered with an Italian provider.

I looked at a few DynDns providers and they seem to me to be all American or in any case on American infrastructure (DuckDNS on AWS, etc)

Is there anything you can recommend that is EU-based and who has a good reputation in general?

Free is preferred.

Are you sure you need DYNDNS? My 'dynamic' IP address changes so rarely that I just update my DNS entries manually when it does.

Could you elaborate on the "non-spying" bit? There's not much they can infer from people looking up your IP. Unless you run their daemon that updates the IP, as opposed to curl in cron.
