Is this by some random company that happens to rent an address in Hague? And even that is uncertain because there's no actual address except a vague OSM pin. And no company name either.

This seems untrustworthy, double so for a product that claims to prioritize transparency.

Sounds like when there was that news of "Europe is creating a social media website called 'W' to compete with X" and it just turned out it was some random tiny company.

Every time you hear about European alternative you can expect similar scenario.

In their Privacy Policy [1], Section 8:

> Office.EU is a service offered and operated by EUfforic Europe BV, registered with the Dutch chamber of commerce under registration number 98746243 and having its address at Dr. Kuyperstraat 10-A at (2514 BB) The Hague, the Netherlands.

Yea the FAQ does not give a good impression.

"The Premium and Ultimate plans offer EU Talk for larger meetings up to ● users."

Default Talk copies all streams to all users meaning it can handle a small numbers of concurrent users. There's some sort of a broadcast (plus Stun, nat etc) solution that allows it to scale. They are probably charging for that.
