Frequently asked questions
What is the best European alternative to Bitly?
So far our directory lists one European alternative to Bitly: EU.PE.
Is Bitly GDPR-compliant?
It is majority owned by private equity firm Spectrum Equity and run from New York, squarely under United States jurisdiction. For a US company, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework covers transfers only if Bitly is certified under it; otherwise they need standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment, and US laws such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data either way.
