European netID Foundation

The European netID Foundation was founded in March 2018 by Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland, ProSiebenSat.1 and United Internet. It pursues the goal of establishing netID as a single sign-on European alternative to US providers. With netID, users can organize their consent for the use of internet services in a data-protection-compliant and transparent way in a so-called Privacy Center. To this end, the foundation has developed an open standard that enables users across industries to access all internet offerings of partners of the European netID Foundation with the same login data. Currently, over 40 million netID accounts are live.
