Seznam Email Profi: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Seznam Email Profi is a business email service from Seznam.cz, the Czech internet company based in Prague. It is aimed at organisations that want to run email on their own domain. Besides mailboxes, the service includes a calendar, spam filtering for incoming mail and an IMAP import, which allows existing mailboxes to be moved over from another provider. The service is delivered as a hosted service, so no software needs to be installed on the customer's own servers.

Seznam.cz, a.s. is a Czech joint-stock company with its seat in Prague. The vendor's public pages do not name a foreign parent company. According to the company, all data that Seznam.cz stores is kept in the Czech Republic, in its own data centres. For a European organisation, this means that both the operator and the storage location are within the EU. These statements date from a 2022 interview, so current contract and processing terms should be checked before a decision.
