Frequently asked questions
What does Infomaniak do?
Infomaniak is swiss-hosted cloud, email and web services with a strong sustainability focus — an alternative to google workspace. It is listed under cloud infrastructure, email, and hosting on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European cloud infrastructure tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from Gmail and AWS.
Is Infomaniak GDPR compliant?
Infomaniak is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and falls under EU jurisdiction, so it likely processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Switzerland's data protection authority, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). EU Alts has not independently verified Infomaniak's exposure to the US CLOUD Act, so we can't confirm it either way.
How do teams switch from Gmail to Infomaniak?
Teams considering a move from Gmail and AWS to Infomaniak are usually drawn by its cloud infrastructure workflow fit. EU Alts has not independently verified Infomaniak's exposure to the US CLOUD Act, so treat any CLOUD Act or Schrems II conclusions as provisional. Plan a migration in stages regardless: export your data from the US incumbent, pilot Infomaniak with a small team, then move the rest once integration coverage is confirmed.
