In the unlikely event that you can not find a European alternative, you may have to consider buying a US branded product. On this website you can look up the brand and see its politics.

They want you to sign up with your email to do this.

I think thats for updates or a PDF copy, they posted a google docs link here.

Which, you know, also kind of puts things in a weird spot with a google docs list of companies. Can't speak to anything about them, just that there is a link to that info that doesnt require an email address.

google docs

Speaking of avoiding...

Yeah, thats what that second part of my comment was about. I don't have a good answer for a readily accessible alternative that wouldn't get demolished by a significant influx of users though. Not without using some larger and unwanted company, at least along some part of the chain.

Maybe self hosting on hetzner or similar?

If you open a Google Doc in a private browser you should be able to view it without giving them any data, right?

@huppakee @Undertaker Nope, that's not how private browsing works. It does not block the transfer of data.

Just don't use Google Docs.
