Dailymotion is headquartered in Paris, France, and owned by Vivendi, a French media conglomerate, meaning governance and data remain under EU jurisdiction and GDPR. Infrastructure is hosted in Europe with no exposure to U.S. data access frameworks. As a French platform, Dailymotion offers video infrastructure independent of U.S. Big Tech.

Founded in 2005 by Benjamin Bejbaum and Olivier Poitrey, it is Europe's largest independent video platform and a GDPR-native alternative for publishers requiring sovereign video infrastructure.
