Beyond Big Tech: why DeepCloud offers a safe alternative

Big Tech brings progress, but also risks. Organisations that want control over their own data should be aware of alternatives that support digital sovereignty

In today’s digital landscape, convenience often comes at the cost of privacy. The dominance of well-known Big Tech companies has brought invaluable innovations to businesses and individuals, but their market dominance has also increased concerns over surveillance, data mining, and opaque practices concerning data privacy. For businesses and individuals valuing control of their own data and confidentiality, the question is no longer whether to seek an alternative, but which one to trust.

The hidden cost of “free” services

Most major tech platforms operate under U.S. jurisdiction, meaning your data may be subject to e.g., the CLOUD Act or Patriot Act, regardless of where it is stored. This legal framework allows U.S. authorities to demand access to data stored abroad, often without notifying the user. Combined with business models built on behavioral profiling and advertising, the risks are structural, not incidental.

Europeans are recognising these risks. One consumer poll released in March 2025 found that 62 percent of people across nine European countries view large U.S. tech companies as a threat to the countries’ sovereignty. This signals not just concerns over privacy, but a broader call for digital independence.

DeepCloud was founded on a radically different premise: your data belongs to you, and protecting it should be non-negotiable. Headquartered and hosted exclusively in Switzerland, DeepCloud operates under some of the world’s strictest data protection laws — enshrined in both the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and aligned with the principles of the EU’s GDPR.

We made a deliberate choice to offer a fully Swiss solution – Swiss made, Swiss hosted, Swiss managed. From engineering and hosting infrastructure to sales, marketing, and customer service. This isn’t just about geography; it’s about ensuring data privacy, legal clarity, and the level of quality we demand for our products. Keeping everything local allows us to maintain tighter control, faster communication, and the high standards our clients expect. 

Technology that reflects our values

Privacy at DeepCloud isn’t a feature—it is its very foundation. From DeepBox (our document sharing platform) to DeepMail (secure document delivery) and DeepSign (our digital signature solution), each DeepService is designed for the strongest security standards, robust access controls, and a commitment to keeping users in control of their data. With the new DeepSign On-Prem solution, an ideal solution for large public and private organisations with strict data security requirements, we are going even further. This new digital hash sealing and signing solution is installed directly on our client’s IT infrastructure, so that documents do not leave their work environment. 

In an era where trust in digital work solutions is eroding, DeepCloud aligns cutting-edge technology, whilst offering its services within the realm of a solid legal framework and ethical commitment. Instead of attempting to stretch the boundaries of acceptable data use, DeepCloud chooses discretion, simplicity, and Swiss precision.

Your data. Your rules.

Choosing DeepCloud isn’t just about privacy—it’s about data sovereignty, independence, and peace of mind. For professionals, organisations, and privacy-conscious individuals, we offer more than an alternative. We offer a trusted refuge.
