This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

Operational dependency warning

Relies heavily on non-European providers

Current public evidence shows 5 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 4 providers: Amazon SES, Amazon Web Services, Fastmail, Google. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.

Review dependencies ↓

Survs is a survey tool from Portugal. Teams can build surveys in their own branding, send them out through the service's email infrastructure or share a plain URL, and analyse the responses as they come in.

Being based in Portugal makes it a European alternative to US survey services for organisations that want respondent data held in the EU. The free plan is enough for a quick poll, while the paid plans suit regular customer or employee research.

Pricing

The free plan allows five questions per survey and up to 100 respondents. Paid plans start at EUR 19 per month with unlimited questions and up to 2000 respondents per month.

Data and operations

Infrastructure and email path

Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.

Public website

Amazon Web Services

US-controlled cloud
Observed
A 63.183.11.110, 63.185.206.142 · AS16509

Why this matters

This public website route ends on Amazon Web Services, whose European seller is wholly owned by Amazon.com, Inc. An EU region can provide European data residency but remains under US ultimate ownership. DNS does not reveal the AWS region, the core service's host, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.

Incoming business email

Fastmail

Non-European provider
Observed
MX 10 in1-smtp.messagingengine.com · 20 in2-smtp.messagingengine.com

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Fastmail. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Authorised outbound email

Fastmail

Non-European provider
Observed
SPF spf.messagingengine.com

Why this matters

This domain authorises Fastmail to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.

Authorised outbound email

Amazon SES

US-controlled cloud
Observed
SPF amazonses.com

Why this matters

This domain authorises Amazon SES, infrastructure under US ultimate ownership, to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed there. SPF does not prove active use, the selected AWS region, or use of the separately operated AWS European Sovereign Cloud.

Authorised outbound email

Google Workspace

Non-European provider
Observed
SPF _spf.google.com

Why this matters

This domain authorises Google Workspace to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
