Why Swiss data hosting matters

Data privacy is no longer a taboo. Since the GDPR came into force in 2018, everyone knows a data breach can cost a company millions — making compliance essential for companies and individuals alike. You probably hold sensitive information from your customers, and they expect you to keep it safe.

If someone gets access to your data, they get access to your business — it's as simple as that. You would not hand the keys to your premises to just anyone without being completely sure that a certain number of things would be respected. Your customer database, your content, your product and patent information: it all deserves the same care. In fact, doing everything possible to keep that data respected and protected is exactly what your customers expect of you.

Data-protection laws differ from country to country, so when choosing an email marketing solution it is of the utmost importance to pick one that protects both your data and that of your customers. Since the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act of 1992, all data stored in Switzerland is protected: no one can demand your data — physical or digital — and unauthorized access to data kept in Switzerland is forbidden by law.

That differs greatly from other jurisdictions. US data protection, for example, is often criticised for its anti-privacy stance: government or law-enforcement agencies can request access to your data if you are under investigation. Our data center is located in Switzerland — a country known for its economic stability, neutrality, strong legal system and low inflation — which, combined with its strict privacy laws, makes it an ideal place to keep your data safe and untouched.

BENEFITS

Benefits of keeping data in Switzerland

Here are the main reasons it pays to keep your customer data safe — and why so many businesses choose Swiss hosting to do it.

Meet your legal obligation
Whatever data you hold, keeping your customers' data protected and safe has been a legal duty since the GDPR came into force in 2018.
Maintain a good reputation
Customers trust you with sensitive information. A security breach breaks that trust and damages your reputation; strong protection preserves both.
Avoid unnecessary legal expenses
Data breaches are proven to cost companies large sums in legal fees and in restoring security — on top of the customers you lose from the fallout.
A stable, neutral home
Switzerland's economic stability, neutrality, strong legal system and strict privacy laws make it an ideal place to keep your data untouched.
