Understanding SwissTransfer Data Security

Update 06/30/2026

This guide details the measures implemented by Infomaniak to secure all your SwissTransfer data, whether it is personal (medical data, identification or login information) or even sensitive (financial information, trade secrets, intellectual property information, research and development, etc.).

 

Data Security and Privacy

The SwissTransfer infrastructure is based on cutting-edge technology, incorporating multiple levels of protection for your files:

  1. During transfer: your files travel through an ultra-secure tunnel (AES-GCM encryption) that prevents any interception or modification during transmission.
  2. Once stored: your data is "fortified" by double locking (LUKS and AES 256 bits). This security standard, more robust than the previous one, guarantees that even in the event of physical access to the server, your files remain completely unreadable.

Files are encrypted as soon as they arrive on Infomaniak's storage servers, and are processed exclusively in Infomaniak's data centers in Switzerland. These TIER III+ data centers ensure maximum availability: your files are always accessible and protected by multiple backup systems.

Files are automatically deleted after 15 days. An extension of up to 30 days is possible: it is offered by email to the sender on the 12th day, and remains available for 3 days.

Infomaniak continuously tests and audits the SwissTransfer infrastructure to identify and correct any vulnerabilities, thus ensuring constant protection against the latest cyberattacks.
