Jurisdictional Sovereignty
Swiss Jurisdiction
Switzerland’s legal framework where privacy is a constitutional right (Article 13), combined with CLAVI’s zero-knowledge architecture ensuring no court can compel surrender of keys.
Definition
The legal framework under which CLAVI operates. Switzerland’s Federal Constitution (Article 13) treats privacy as a fundamental human right. The revised Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP) provides some of the world’s strongest data sovereignty protections. Combined with CLAVI’s zero-knowledge architecture, Swiss jurisdiction means that no government or court can compel CLAVI to surrender keys it does not possess.
