Uiteindelijk moederbedrijf
Proton Foundation (CH)
Proton says its primary shareholder is the Proton Foundation, a Swiss non-profit in Geneva; employees hold most other shares. No percentages or register entry found, so this is the named main holder, not a verified ultimate parent.
Blootstelling aan buitenlands recht deels
Gebaseerd op dezelfde eigendomsketen als jurisdictie.
Dataopslaglocatie onvoldoende
Standaard opslag in de EU
Nee
Servers are 'exclusively located in Switzerland, Germany or Norway', owned and operated by Proton or its subsidiaries. Norway is EEA, but Switzerland is not EU/EEA, and no EU/EEA-only option was found.
Standaard verwerking in de EU
Onbekend
Looked at Drive privacy policy, group privacy policy and DPA. Servers are in CH, DE and NO; no page states where processing happens. The DPA allows transfers to CH, EU or adequate countries 'to the extent possible'.
Regio's
Switzerland, Germany, Norway
Older Proton pages list only Switzerland and Germany.
Subverwerkers voldoende
Openbare lijst
Ja
Group privacy policy s.4 lists processors with locations; the Drive policy names none. The text names Calendly and HubSpot, missing from the s.4 list. DPA: general authorisation, updates via the privacy policy.
Niet-EU in kernverwerking
Nee
Drive privacy policy names no subprocessors; only Proton employees access servers. The group list has non-EU processors (Zendesk, Stripe, PayPal, Chargebee, Atlassian; entities in North Macedonia, Taiwan) for support and payments, not Drive content.
DPA voldoende
AVG art. 28 beschikbaar
Ja
Published DPA (last modified 2026-02-10), part of the Principal Agreement; Proton AG is processor. Covers instructions, confidentiality, subprocessors, deletion, audits. Art. 28 not cited by number; counted as an Art. 28 DPA.
Lock-in voldoende
Open source
Ja
Proton's GitHub org for Drive: Windows, macOS, Android and iOS apps (GPL-3.0) and SDKs (MIT). No server or back-end code seen. Proton says all its apps are open source and audited (proton.me/community/open-source).
Zelf te hosten
Onbekend
Looked at proton.me/community/open-source, the Drive GitHub org and the Drive page. No self-hosting option or server code mentioned either way.
Volledige data-export
Ja
Select multiple files or folders in the web app and download as a ZIP. The Drive CLI downloads whole folders. No single 'export everything' button found. Files are decrypted on the user's device.
Functies niet gescoord
End-to-end-versleuteling
Ja
Files are encrypted on the device before upload; the policy says Proton cannot decrypt content on production servers or in backups.
Documenteditor
Ja
Proton Docs: end-to-end encrypted editor inside Drive, with collaboration.
Spreadsheet-editor
Ja
Proton Sheets: end-to-end encrypted spreadsheets; the Drive page mentions formulas and charts.
Gedeelde links
Ja
Link for anyone, or invite people by email with view or edit access. Free accounts cannot share files over 5 GB (Drive page).
Links met wachtwoord
Ja
Optional password and expiry date on a shared link; page names no plan restriction.
