Proton Drive Security & Privacy
How Proton Drive handles your data, where it's stored, and what certifications back their claims.
GDPR
Legal Jurisdiction
Switzerland (HQ: Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland) / Proton AG (controlled by non-profit Proton Foundation since June 2024)
Proton AG voluntarily complies with GDPR even though Swiss law does not require it. Your files are end-to-end encrypted before leaving your device, so Proton cannot read them. They publish a Data Processing Agreement for business customers. Independent audits by Securitum confirm a zero-logging infrastructure. Data stays in Switzerland and Germany, both countries with strong privacy frameworks.
