How we protect your files and data

lock

End-to-End Encryption

When you password-protect a file, it's encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it leaves your browser. The encryption key is derived from your password, and we never have access to your unencrypted files.

AES-256-GCM: Military-grade encryption algorithm
Client-side encryption: Files are encrypted before upload
Password-derived keys: Your password is never sent to our servers
Salt and nonce: Unique values for each file prevent pattern analysis

Secure Storage

All files are stored with multiple layers of protection to ensure they remain secure and private.

Encrypted at rest: Files are stored in encrypted form
Access controls: Strict permissions prevent unauthorized access
Secure deletion: Files are permanently erased when expired
No file scanning: We never analyze or scan file contents

https

Transport Security

All communications between your browser and our servers are protected with modern security protocols.

TLS 1.3: Latest encryption for data in transit
HTTPS only: All connections require secure protocols
Certificate pinning: Prevents man-in-the-middle attacks
Secure headers: Additional HTTP security headers

delete

Automatic Expiration

Files are automatically deleted based on your chosen expiration settings, ensuring no data persists longer than necessary.

Time-based expiration: Files deleted after specified days
Download-based expiration: Files deleted after download limit reached
Secure deletion: Files overwritten before deletion
No backups: Expired files are not backed up
