Artmotion Ltd. is a Swiss based data housing provider. It operates two data centers near the Swiss Alps that are designed for security-seeking businesses,^[1] favored by the country's political neutrality and ironclad privacy laws.^[2][3]

Artmotion was founded in 2000 by Mateo Meier, who is also the current CEO of the company.^[4] In 2003, Artmotion acquired Cyberhost, a Swiss Cloud hosting services provider. In 2004, it became an Ltd. company.^[5] Since 2011, the Swiss datacenter provider Everyware Ltd. holds 25 percent of Artmotion's shares.^[6] Artmotion increased its capital in 2015.^[7]

Artmotion acquired 58% shares in Citadelo and became a shareholder and board member in 2020. However Artmotion and Citadelo continued to operate as separate companies.^[8][9] Artmotion also owns a stake in Citadelo Switzerland.^[10]

After the 2013 PRISM leak, several cloud computing companies faced criticism for their lack of security, especially those based in US.^[11][12] Artmotion, among other Swiss-based cloud computing providers gained the most out of this scandal.^[13] Mostly due to the country's stringent data privacy laws, their customer base increased and the company had their revenue up 45 percent in a month following the scandal.^[14][15] According to the CEO Mateo Meier, except in a few European countries like Luxembourg and Switzerland, personal privacy is difficult to service in this modern world.^[16] Switzerland is not a member of European Union, hence it is exempt from pan-European agreements to share data with member states, as well as the United States.^[17]
