There is no "safe" place to store your data. FISA means that any
claim that there is legal protection for your data is utter nonsense.
AFAIK Switzerland is the only nation that has meaningful legislation
covering this, so if you need that checkbox to make someone happy,
then this is your place. All of the infrastructure between you and
Switzerland is vulnerable, so functionally you have no ultimately safe
options.
Having said that legislation does not actually protect your data.
Technology and processes do.
It is also worth noting that all encryption does is to slow down
access to the data (assuming the encryption was done correctly).
While currently this means centuries+, tomorrow's innovations will
eventually bring this down into a useful time frame. If you have data
that absolutely must not fall into someone else's hands, then storing
it in the public cloud" is simply not an option.

I attended a recent talk by Mark Rasch, Legal, Regulatory and

claimed hosting data in the USA is actually safer than in
Canada because of rules the NSA and others must follow to
access private data in the USA, but once data is hosted
anywhere else in the world it is fair game. Of course being a
non-American probably gives you less protection in the USA
than a native, but it is an interesting twist on who the
powers that be can snoop on.

Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Calgary area high-speed ISPs /
running your own mail server
Most of the local ISPs that I have used filter inbound and
outbound port 25 on their "residential" services, which makes
running a mail server locally problematic without the use of a
smart host.
Most of the "business" packages do not have this restriction.
Having said that, a VPS is a whole lot cheaper, I have a
couple of http://buyvm.net/ VMs which have been excellent
value.
For those that worry about having their data reside in the US,
I would recommend https://mykolab.com/, which is a hosted
kolab solution based out of Switzerland (Canada provides no
protection beyond what you would get in the US anyway).
Kolab and Citadel are my two favourite messaging/collaboration
suites.

I would suggest Shaw, they have a commercial add-on to
the residential package
with a fixed ip address and no filtering, you can
pretty much run anything on
that box. I can't see why you couldn't do the same on
a residential package
with dyndns setting for mx..
experhost has a linux vps offering, around $20 a
month, and you can run a mail
server there :-) along with your own named and
whatever else you may want.
