The entire catalogue sits behind one link tag, every family carries an open licence such as the SIL Open Font License, and nothing is charged for the fonts or for serving them. Delivery is the catch: Google's own FAQ confirms each visitor request to fonts.googleapis.com hands their IP address, user agent and referring page straight to Google LLC in the United States.

Why choose Bunny Fonts over Google Fonts?
The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. Google Fonts is headquartered in the United States, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes: the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.
Bunny Fonts removes that overhead. As a Slovenia-based provider, it operates under EU GDPR, and data stays inside the EU/EEA by default. For regulated sectors such as health, public administration, and finance, that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.
