As a Norwegian company, Runbox is occasionally asked how the U.S. CLOUD Act affects our users—and the answer is simple: it doesn’t. Unlike U.S.-based providers, we own our servers and operate under Norwegian law, ensuring your emails and personal data are fully protected by Norwegian law and GDPR. The CLOUD Act has no jurisdiction over Runbox or your information. Read on to learn how we keep your data safe.
Recent reports reveal that some companies are handing over user data when served with a subpoena by authorities. At Runbox we monitor this trend with concern and want to take the opportunity to make it clear that we will not disclose user data to anyone unless certain very specific and stringent criteria are met.
A subpoena, warrant or request from any government or foreign agency is not enough to meet our requirements. If an entity requests access to any user data, Runbox will by principle respond by requesting a Norwegian court order pursuant to the Norwegian Criminal Procedure Act before disclosing any information.
