It’s your stuff — guaranteed!

Most of the big cloud storage companies in the world are U.S. based. You may think that your files and photos are completely private when you store them with the big guys. Well, you may be wrong.

Yes, some of these companies have a local subsidiary that stores data in European data centers, but there is one issue:

U.S. law enforcement can use the USA PATRIOT Act on a U.S. based organization, like Microsoft, Google, Dropbox or Amazon, to force its local subsidiary — even if located in Europe — into handing over user data to U.S. authorities.

After stories from whistleblowers about the PRISM program run by the U.S. government, the subject of privacy has become more relevant than ever.

What are we doing about it?

Jottacloud is a Norwegian cloud storage 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 U.S. legislation, which arguably infringe the freedom and liberties of both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens.

That makes Jottacloud great for people who want an alternative to U.S. based cloud services like SkyDrive, Dropbox and iCloud.

With our unique position, located in Norway which has one of the world’s strictest privacy laws, 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 United States on the other hand, privacy rights seem to float like the Mississippi river.

It’s your stuff, and it’s safe. Jottacloud guarantees it! Also, our servers are powered by green energy — Jottacloud guarantees that as well.

Be safe!
