Poczta o2: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Poczta o2 is a webmail service under the o2 brand, reached at poczta.o2.pl. Users read, write and manage email in a browser or through the accompanying app. The service offers attachments up to 100 MB, a spam filter and an advertising-free option. It is aimed at private users with an o2 email address. The website is in Polish.

The service is operated by Wirtualna Polska (WP), which has its seat in Warsaw, Poland. The vendor's public pages do not state where data is physically stored or which sub-processors are involved. As Poland is an EU member state, European data protection law applies to the provider. A European organisation considering confidential business email should first review WP's privacy terms and its data processing arrangements before using the service for business correspondence.
