🚀 General Data Protection Regulation

“ ”

If you are an entity that processes data of a personal nature, you are probably affected by the provisions of the General Regulations on the Protection of Data (RGPD). Due to this, you have obligations with which you must comply. The same applies to Infomaniak which, in view of its situation, has distinct obligations as a sub-contractor and data processing manager.

When do we share your information with other parties?

As a hosting provider, Infomaniak is committed to complying with its obligations under the regulations. As a result, you must also respect the points of your regulatory obligations related to our services.

As a subcontractor, Infomaniak is committed to:

Store your data in our datacenters based exclusively in Switzerland and never transfer your data outside of our datacenters.
Implement high-security standards and maintain continuous improvement processes to provide you with a high level of security in our services.
Notify you as soon as possible in the event of a violation of your data.
Be transparent when we use subcontractors that could process your data.
Maintain and develop our physical security measures to prevent access to the infrastructures on which your data are stored by unauthorised persons.
Have physical and / or logical isolation systems (depending on the services) to isolate customer hosting services from each other, and carry out intrusion tests once a year in order to ensure data tightness between customers.
Be exemplary in terms of reactivity for security updates on the systems we manage.

These commitments are transcribed in our general and specific terms and conditions.

It is essential to distinguish between the security of the infrastructures on which your data is hosted and the exploitation and implementation of the data by you.
