Ente: has E2EE embedded, the face recognition happens on the clients. Can be self-hostable, so that gives more trust that other providers can launch their own European instances in the future.
Yes I'm using Ente at the moment, ideally I would prefer to use a European provider (they would basically self host the Ente software with a fee for users), but at the moment there aren't any that I know of.
I went through this dilemma too and actually talked with ente about it. It turns out that they did initially try to set it up in Europe as they are a global team, but the EU requirement for physical presence in the country was limiting for them.
They said that there were workarounds for this but decided on setting it up in the US because it was very straightforward with no workarounds or limitations
I like the way they are going with ente though and feel like it's a fair price. The software works well too
https://ente.io/ is a paid service, not expensive, E2E encrypted, and maybe open-source.
Edit: sorry, you already mentioned it without the URL.
