Roland Rabben Follow Jun 16, 2013 · 2 min read Most of the big cloud storage players in the world are US based. You may think that your files are safe and private when stored with the big guys. Well, you may be wrong. Yes, some of these companies have a local subsidiary that store data in European datacenters, but the problem is this: U.S. law enforcement could use the USA PATRIOT Act on a US based organization, like Microsoft, Google, Dropbox or Amazon, for example, to force its local subsidiary companies across the world into handing over user data to US authorities. With the recent revelations made by Edward Snowden, of the PRISM program run by the US government, this threat seems bigger and more frightening than ever. Jottacloud is a Norwegian company with Norwegian owners, and we operate under Norwegian privacy laws. We store all your files in Norway. As a result, our users are protected against US legislation, which arguably infringe the freedom and liberties of both US and non-US citizens. That makes Jottacloud great for people who want an alternative to US based cloud services like SkyDrive, Dropbox and iCloud. With our unique position, located in Norway, we provide a guarantee for your privacy. The Jottacloud Privacy Guarantee We will store your data in Norway, or a country with similar or stricter privacy laws We will operate under Norwegian jurisdiction We will not monitor what you store on Jottacloud We will not hand over user data to authorities unless a warrant issued by the Norwegian court of law is presented We will not exchange, store or process user data at a third party service like Amazon Our employees will not open, access or read your files without your written consent Our employees must sign non-disclosure agreements We will delete all your user data when you terminate your account We care about privacy. In Norway, privacy stands firm like the mighty mountains of Jotunheimen. In the US, on the other hand, privacy rights seem to float like the Mississippi river. It’s your stuff and it’s safe! Jottacloud guarantees it! And our servers are powered by green energy — Jottacloud guarantees that as well. Be safe! The Company Privacy 49 1 WRITTEN BY Roland Rabben Follow Founder of Jottacloud.
