Sustainability at PixelUnion 🌱
At PixelUnion, we believe in building technology that not only respects your privacy but also protects our planet. Sustainability is a core value of our company, and we take concrete steps to minimize our environmental impact while delivering a high-quality, privacy-focused service.
100% Renewable Energy
All our servers and storage infrastructure are hosted in data centers that run exclusively on 100% renewable energy sources. This ensures that PixelUnion operates efficiently, responsibly, and resiliently while keeping our carbon footprint as low as possible.
Our primary production cluster is hosted in Falkenstein, Germany, and our backup cluster is located in Finland. Both facilities are powered entirely by renewable energy, ensuring that every photo you store, every video you upload, and every moment you access your memories is backed by clean, sustainable power.
Why This Matters to Us
As a European company, we recognize our responsibility to contribute to a sustainable future. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and the technology sector has a significant role to play in reducing global carbon emissions.
Our Commitment to the Environment
- Reducing carbon footprint: By choosing renewable energy for our infrastructure, we ensure that our operations don’t contribute to greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation.
- Supporting the energy transition: We actively support the shift toward renewable energy by partnering with data center providers that prioritize sustainability.
- Leading by example: We believe that privacy-focused technology and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. You shouldn’t have to choose between protecting your data and protecting the planet.
Privacy and Sustainability: A Shared Vision
At PixelUnion, we see a clear connection between our commitment to privacy and our commitment to sustainability:
- Long-term thinking: Just as we design our systems to protect your data for years to come, we also consider the long-term impact of our operations on the environment.
- European values: As a company based in the Netherlands and serving European customers, we align with European values of environmental stewardship and sustainable development.

Our Infrastructure Approach
Beyond renewable energy, we design our infrastructure with efficiency in mind:
- Optimized resource usage: We continuously optimize our systems to use resources efficiently, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
- Geographic efficiency: Our data centers in Germany and Finland are strategically located to serve European customers with minimal latency while leveraging Europe’s renewable energy infrastructure.
- Minimal waste: By using end-to-end encryption and efficient storage systems, we minimize the computational overhead required to protect and serve your data.
