CHILI: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

CHILI is an Italian transactional video-on-demand platform: films and series are rented or bought per title, without a subscription. The offer can be watched on smart TVs, in a web browser and through mobile apps, and the platform is reached at the it.chili.com subdomain. CHILI was created in 2012 as a spin-off of the Over The Top TV unit of the Italian operator Fastweb, and it is based in Milan.

CHILI S.p.A. has its headquarters in Milan, Italy, so it is an EU company subject to Italian and European law. The website does not name its shareholders, and the public text does not state where user data is hosted. For a European organisation the choice therefore turns mainly on contractual and data-protection terms, which should be requested from the operator before the service is used for anything beyond personal viewing.

Why digital sovereignty matters with CHILI

CHILI is headquartered in IT and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so CHILI scores best on data residency.

CHILI is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs CHILI together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
