‏Cultivating Trust with Our Quarterly Transparency Reports

At ArvanCloud, we believe in the importance of transparency and promote such a culture. For this purpose, we present transparency reports to disclose the requests, orders, and complaints received from governmental and law enforcement entities and influential internet organizations.

It is ArvanCloud’s privacy policy to protect customers’ private data. This information is never sold or given away. ArvanCloud analyzes all received requests and rejects any that prove illegitimate or lack legal basis. In case of a subpoena or other legal processes, we make sure to inform our customers of the legal request to stop their service, suspend their account or disclose their information before the disclosure unless the judicial decision states confidentiality. (This has never been common for these legal processes) No law enforcement software or any kind of spyware is installed on the ArvanCloud network to store our customers’ data. We never disclose encryption and authentication keys to anyone or any organization. We encourage customers to encrypt their data and use encrypted communication.
