Privacy Policy
Privacy by Design
We collect the bare minimum. Your data belongs to you. We only gather what's essential to make Geer work better for you — nothing more.
EU-Based & GDPR-Compliant
Our service operates from renewable-powered servers in Germany and is governed by Estonian jurisdiction, emphasizing European data protection standards.
Independent & User-Funded
No investors. No hidden agendas. We're sustainably funded by subscribers — not ad-tech giants.
Privacy-First Analytics
We use Plausible — a cookie-free, ethical analytics tool. No invasive tracking, no third-party scripts, no cookies.
