Because privacy is invaluable: Public Cloud without a pry
Pryvate uses IONOS Cloud for maximum flexibility and heightened data security The name is no accident. Since 2013, Pryvate has made protecting data privacy its mission. “Nothing can pry into Pryvate” is the company motto. Pryvate provides secure communication platforms, including the Pryvate app which encrypts voice, video or chats on smartphones, and the CUG product – a secure communications solution that makes business phone calls bug proof. Over the years, Pryvate hosted its servers in a number of clouds. In 2020, Pryvate decided to consolidate its cloud servers to be able to pass on the cost savings to its customers. IONOS Cloud was selected for the project due to the high data security requirements involved. As an app developer of an encryption communications suite, Pryvate holds itself to high data protection standards. Customers can rely on outsiders not gaining any access to their data.

We also couldn’t meet data protection and scalability requirements in the desired form with our previous hosts,” adds Parker-Bray.
Requirements for the new cloud provider
After many years of experience with prior cloud providers, Pryvate knew exactly what it wanted from a new one: data security. The company has long-term experience with the varying data protection laws in different countries. “The EU General Data Protection
