Business Wire
Endurance International Group (NASDAQ: EIGI), a leading
cloud-based platform solutions provider helping small and
medium-sized businesses succeed online, announced today that it has
signed a letter to members of Congress to urge the passing of a
clean Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) reform bill this
year. Endurance joins many other large Internet and technology
companies in support of ECPA reform, which would provide equal
protection for personal communications stored in the cloud.
“Endurance is a provider of cloud based services for thousands
of small businesses all over the world through our Bluehost,
HostGator and iPage brands, and we take privacy very seriously,”
said Endurance CEO Hari Ravichandran. “Many businesses today depend
on the cloud to operate, so it is critical that data stored in the
cloud be protected to the same extent as data stored locally. The
existing ECPA law was passed in 1986, and needs to be updated to
reflect current communication needs.”
Endurance is advocating for ECPA reform to require a search
warrant for government access to customer data stored on the cloud
by third party service providers without exceptions for regulatory
agencies. ECPA reform is crucial not only to protect privacy rights
but also to support entrepreneurial opportunities online.
