At SCIF Share, we take data residency and privacy laws very seriously. Our data center is located in the State of Georgia (USA), ensuring that all customer data is stored within the boundaries of the State of Georgia. This approach allows us to maintain compliance with data residency requirements and provides our customers with peace of mind regarding the physical location of their data.
Additionally, it’s important to underscore that SCIF Share does not engage in selling or sharing customer information with any third parties. We prioritize maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of our customers’ data above all else. The only instance in which your information is shared with a third party is during payment processing. We utilize Stripe as our payment processor.

The name “Skif” or “SCIF” originates from “Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility,” which refers to a highly secure space used by government agencies, military organizations, and contractors to store and process classified information. The idea behind creating SCIF Share was to bring the same high level of security and protection to individual users at an affordable price.
