Jurisdictional Sovereignty
Jurisdictional Hardening
The strategic placement of infrastructure in neutral jurisdictions to maximize privacy protections — CLAVI’s domicile in Switzerland, outside the EU and Five Eyes alliance.
Definition
The strategic placement of physical infrastructure and legal entities in neutral, non-aligned territories to maximize privacy protections and minimize exposure to overreaching data-access frameworks. CLAVI is domiciled in Schaffhausen, Switzerland — outside the European Union, outside the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance. This is not evasion; it is the sovereign selection of the legal environment most aligned with the principle that privacy is a fundamental human right.
