PixelUnion.eu Photo Platform

PixelUnion.eu is a privacy-focused photo storage platform designed specifically for the European market as an alternative to major American tech platforms. Founded in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, the brand was created to address growing concerns regarding data sovereignty and privacy within the EU. The platform is built on a forked version of the open-source Immich project, prioritizing secure and encrypted photo management for European consumers.

The service's infrastructure is strictly European-based to ensure compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) standards. The primary storage servers are located in Germany, benefiting from some of the world's strongest privacy laws, with secondary backup systems located in Finland. This dual-country server architecture provides both data security and disaster recovery capabilities while keeping all user data within the European Economic Area.

PixelUnion is owned and operated by an independent team in the Netherlands with extensive experience in the IT, hosting, and storage sectors. Unlike many photo storage competitors that are owned by massive global advertising conglomerates, PixelUnion remains a localized European entity focused on a 'privacy-first' business model.
