It's not so mich about the continent more about the jurisdiction, europe has GDPR which seems to do an ok job. You don't have to switch to a more privacy focused service but it's good that they exist and you can see that more and more of those services are popping up, protonmail for mail, duckduckgo for search and so on
I understand what you did, but I don't think it actually answers the question. Saying an organization is based in Europe does not mean they are bound by the GDPR. If that was the intention then it should say EU to make it clear.
