Build your privacy-first platform with bunny.net: tools to safeguard data and build trust

Posted by:

Your customers trust you with sensitive data, and your reputation rides on protecting it, especially if you need GDPR compliance. But there’s a catch. The moment your traffic passes through a U.S.-based service provider, your logs could fall under U.S. jurisdiction, opening the door to potential data access under foreign laws.

GDPR compliance isn’t just about following rules; it’s about earning customer trust and ensuring their data stays private and secure. For businesses like yours, bunny.net offers a solution that’s truly privacy-first.

As an EU-based company, bunny.net ensures your logs never leave the region. Free from U.S. Congress jurisdiction, we help you safeguard your customers’ data while delivering a seamless experience. Read on to see how our specific tools like Bunny Fonts, Routing Filters, IP Anonymization, and SSL/TLS help safeguard user data and build trust.

Privacy matters: trust in a digital-first world

Today’s users demand fast web experiences but also want to know their data is safe. From GDPR compliance to avoiding unnecessary data collection, a privacy-first approach can set your platform apart in a crowded digital landscape.

Here are several ways bunny.net can help you prioritize privacy while delivering exceptional performance.

Keep data local with Routing Filters

For businesses serving European audiences, GDPR compliance is non-negotiable. bunny.net’s Routing Filters ensure that user data remains within GDPR-compliant regions by processing traffic exclusively through EU-based Points of Presence (PoPs).

For example, a SaaS platform with global users can use Routing Filters to keep European user data within EU boundaries while maintaining fast delivery for other regions. This approach simplifies GDPR compliance and reassures users that their data isn’t unnecessarily routed across borders.

You can find and enable Routing Filters in your Bunny Dashboard by selecting your Pull Zone in your CDN settings and choosing the Pricing & Routing option. To learn more about routing filters, see our support documentation.

Protect personal data with IP Anonymization

One of the most common data privacy concerns is the storage of user IP addresses, which can be considered personally identifiable information (PII) under GDPR. bunny.net’s IP Anonymization feature is enabled by default and removes IP addresses from logs, eliminating the risk of exposing sensitive user data. When anonymization is disabled, all the logs are stored within the EU.IP Anonymization gives businesses peace of mind while analyzing traffic trends without compromising customer privacy. See our logging documentation to learn more.

Encrypt everything with SSL/TLS

Privacy begins with secure connections. bunny.net provides free SSL certificates to encrypt all data transmitted between users and your platform. For businesses handling sensitive information like payment details, custom TLS configurations add an extra layer of protection to meet strict compliance requirements.

Eliminate tracking with Bunny Fonts

Fonts are a common privacy vulnerability, with many hosting services tracking user behavior and sending data to third parties. Recognizing this gap, bunny.net developed Bunny Fonts—a free, privacy-first alternative to Google Fonts. Bunny Fonts eliminates third-party tracking entirely by serving fonts directly through our global CDN, ensuring user data remains private. This not only reduces data exposure but also supports bunny.net's mission to provide tools that protect user privacy while delivering fast performance.

Switching to Bunny Fonts ensures that a site’s aesthetic doesn’t come at the cost of user privacy. By eliminating third-party font tracking, the platform reduces data exposure and improves performance with fast font delivery through bunny.net’s global CDN.

Combined with a zero-logging policy and strictly European-based systems, Bunny Fonts keeps your users' PII private while simplifying development and achieving GDPR compliance. Learn more about Bunny Fonts.
