Common questions about ShieldBox
Data sovereignty means your emails are stored only on servers physically located in Australia, governed by Australian law. Foreign governments — including the US (via the CLOUD Act) — cannot compel ShieldBox to hand over your data, because our data centres are not in their jurisdiction. Your emails are subject only to Australian privacy law.
