File storage and sharing

Does Tresorit store data in Canada?

End-to-end encrypted file sharing

Yes, if you choose it.

Tresorit offers Canadian storage, but you have to choose it, and it may depend on your plan. It is owned in Switzerland, not Canada or the US.

Tier 3: Not US-owned, data in CanadaOwned outside Canada and the United States, with data stored in Canada.

Swiss Post ownership is shown in Tresorit's branding; no ownership statement was found on its own pages.

What the rules say about this

  • US CLOUD Act: The owner is not American, but a US company runs the servers underneath.
  • Nova Scotia public bodies: Storage and access must both be in Canada: check support access and backups, not only storage.
  • Québec Law 25: Canada is not Québec: storage in Toronto still needs a privacy impact assessment for Québec data.
  • OCAP®: Data held by any outside vendor is not in the Nation's possession, whoever owns the vendor.
