    We take personal data protection seriously. Therefore, we make use of market leaders in data encryption, pCloud<\/a> and Proton<\/a>, to provide cloud storage solutions for Patterson Mills. Both of these companies are based in Switzerland and comply with the strictest data privacy laws. We aim to store all information within EU or Switzerland based servers wherever possible. Where this may not be possible, for example, is through the use of the services from Microsoft, for which Microsoft may process data outside of the EU or Switzerland (for example, in the US), whilst still enforcing secure data protection.<\/p>

    pCloud Storage<\/a><\/p>

    pCloud’s security approach focuses on making sure your data is safe and you are as much in control as possible. Our data region selected with pCloud is where your files and personal data are stored – in this case the\u00a0European Union<\/b>\u00a0(Luxembourg).<\/p>

    The data centers used by pCloud have been chosen after intense risk assessment to prove the highest quality and reliability. Their providers are certified under SSAE 18 SOC 2 Type II & SSAE 16 SOC 2 Type II and comply with the highest level of physical and technical security applications such as:<\/p>
