Teleboy: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Teleboy is a Swiss provider of live television, replay and recordings, sold together with internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile subscriptions. Its TV player runs in a web browser and in apps, and includes a programme guide, a recording function and a profile that can be shared within a household. Teleboy AG is based in Zurich. The service is offered as an online subscription rather than as software installed on your own infrastructure.

The privacy policy states that personal data is mainly stored and processed in Switzerland and the European Economic Area, but it also names US providers for analytics, advertising and customer support, including Google, Meta and Datadog. The policy is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and does not mention a GDPR data processing agreement. Switzerland is not an EU member state, so European organisations should check which processors are involved before taking out a subscription.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Teleboy

Teleboy is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

Teleboy hosts data in CH, EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Teleboy 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 Teleboy together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
