Miami, Florida and Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 28, 2024) - Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQB: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FSE: GDT0) ("Sekur" or the "Company"), a leading Swiss hosted secure and private communications platform, outlines the need for greater data privacy from large technology platforms monitoring, and data exploitation.
Big tech platforms, including email providers, VPNs and messaging platforms, routinely access and analyze users' data, private communications, and personal information, without explicit knowledge or consent, an ability often buried in complex terms of service. This covert data collection and surveillance practice raises serious privacy concerns and undermines individuals' control over their digital footprint. Extensive data collection and user tracking by big tech companies pose risks as these firms, and the firms that buy data from big tech providers, amass detailed profiles about people's online activities, interests, and personal information.
Additionally, data harvested by third party companies is not protected or handled in a secure and private manner, and this creates a large security risk as hackers gain access to millions of users' personal information through their cyber-attacks, as evidenced by daily news on cyber-attacks on health care platforms, banking and credit platforms and more. Information such as social security numbers, personal medical records and financial information, credit card and bank information.
The rise of social media platforms, and advanced AI systems, has exacerbated the threat of personal data being harvested, misused, or even censored. Individuals' online presence and interactions are constantly monitored, with their private information often exploited for commercial gain, or subjected to sometimes biased algorithmic manipulation.
What sets Sekur Private Data apart is its strict data privacy standards adhering to Swiss federal laws by hosting data exclusively in Switzerland, a country with some of the world's strongest privacy laws, which safeguards users against intrusive data requests and monitoring from big tech giants.
SekurRelay Enterprise Email Solution, a vital component of the Sekur Enterprise suite, empowers corporate executives and management to effortlessly implement enhanced security measures for their company's email domain. By leveraging SekurSend/SekurReply features and other Swiss-hosted privacy solutions, SekurRelay ensures that sensitive communications remain secure without necessitating a complete migration of the entire workforce. This breakthrough eliminates a significant hurdle to mass adoption within large corporations and government agencies.
Additionally, SekurVPN sets new industry standards by utilizing its proprietary infrastructure and abstaining from hyperscaler or Big Tech hosting providers. Unlike other VPNs, SekurVPN exclusively employs its private Swiss cloud infrastructure, offering Swiss-hosted VPN services with Swiss IPs only. This guarantees unparalleled data protection, as the service solely relies on SekurVPN's own servers and routing. By adhering to the stringent regulations of FADP Swiss privacy laws, SekurVPN treats users' IP addresses as private property, making data harvesting a criminal offense under Swiss legislation.
SekurMessenger comes with a proprietary feature and technology called "Chat-By-Invite." This feature allows a SekurMessenger user ("SM user") to invite via email or SMS a non-SM user, or a group of non-SM users, to chat in a fully private and secure way without the recipient ever having to register to SekurMessenger or download the app. Additionally, SekurMessenger uses a strict vetting system that prevents non vetted users from spamming and hacking your account, as it does not collect the user's phone number and does not harvest any data or phone contact from SekurMessenger users.

Sekur's Data privacy solutions are all hosted in Switzerland, protecting users' data from any outside data intrusion requests. In Switzerland, the right to privacy is guaranteed in article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution. The Federal Act on Data Protection ("FADP") of 19 June 1992 (in force since 1993) has set up a strict protection of privacy by prohibiting virtually any processing of personal data which is not expressly authorized by the data subjects. The protection is subject to the authority of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Under Swiss federal law, it is a crime to publish information based on leaked "secret official discussions." In 2010, the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland found that IP addresses are personal information and that under Swiss privacy laws they may not be used to track internet usage without the knowledge of the individuals involved.
