For what it’s worth, there’s a Quad9 server cluster in Zurich, and unlike Google, Quad9 is GDPR-compliant.  As someone will certainly point out, it’s also subject to US law, but is a public-benefit not-for-profit corporation, and US law doesn’t compel an organization to turn over data which isn’t collected in the first place.  And Quad9 is GDPR-compliant because it doesn’t collect source IP addresses in the first place.

And yes, we recommend anyone who has the capacity to do so run their own resolver rather than using _any_ external resolver.  Something like 95% of Quad9’s users are behind their own caching resolvers.
