ANTI-FRAUD NOTICE: EscrowSwiss operates strictly as a non-profit entity. We NEVER solicit upfront fees or down payments. Report suspicious activity to support@escrow-swiss.info.

Data Privacy & Information Security

Governed by the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP)

1. The Swiss Regulatory Standard

Swissescrow guarantees the fundamental right to digital privacy. As a non-profit organization domiciled in Zürich, our data processing operations are strictly governed by the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP) and are fully compliant with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We act solely as a secure data processor and administrative controller for your transactions.

2. Scope of Data Acquisition

To fulfill our legal mandate and provide secure administrative oversight, Swissescrow processes explicit personal and corporate data. This is strictly limited to the information required to execute KYC/KYB compliance and facilitate the transaction, including:

  • Verified identity documentation (Passports, National IDs, Corporate Registers).
  • Transactional metadata, including fiat bank routing numbers and cryptographic asset origins.
  • Communication logs and legal agreements generated during the dispute mediation process.

3. Swiss-Domiciled Infrastructure

Data sovereignty is a critical component of our security guarantee. All sensitive KYC documentation and transactional records are encrypted using AES-256 military-grade standards. Crucially, this data is hosted exclusively on physically secured, offline servers located entirely within the borders of Switzerland. Your data is protected by Swiss jurisdictional sovereignty and is never routed through third-party cloud providers in foreign jurisdictions.

4. Strict Non-Disclosure Protocol

Swissescrow operates under an absolute confidentiality mandate. We do not monetize, rent, or distribute your personal or corporate information to marketing agencies, data brokers, or unauthorized foreign entities under any circumstances. Access to your case file is restricted strictly to the assigned Swissescrow mediation officers handling your transaction.

5. Legal Exemptions & Compliance Disclosures

As a regulated entity, our confidentiality protocols are superseded only by strict Swiss federal mandates. We are legally compelled to breach confidentiality and disclose data to the Swiss Money Laundering Reporting Office (MROS) or the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) only if a transaction triggers automated severe financial crime alerts, or if we are presented with a binding, executable subpoena from a Swiss Federal Court.

6. Statutory Retention and Destruction

In strict accordance with Article 958f of the Swiss Code of Obligations, all administrative and financial records related to an escrow transaction must be legally retained for a mandatory period of ten (10) years following the closure of the agreement. Upon the expiration of this statutory period, all identifying data and documentation are permanently and cryptographically destroyed, ensuring absolute historical privacy.
