We take privacy seriously. The protection of your personal data is fundamental to everything we do. We strictly adhere to all data protection laws.

Client-Side Encryption: All encryption and decryption happens in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your plaintext and passwords never leave your device.

Zero Server Knowledge: We have no access to your messages, passwords, or encryption keys. Even if we wanted to read your data, we couldn't.

IP Addresses (Website Visitors):
We do not log or store IP addresses of our website visitors beyond the technically required temporary processing for delivering web content (max. 24 hours in anonymized web server logs). No permanent storage, no tracking, no profiling.

IP Addresses (Contact Form):
When you use our contact form, we store your IP address for security purposes (spam protection and rate limiting). This data is stored for a maximum of 7 days and is used exclusively to prevent abuse of our contact form. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in preventing spam and abuse).

Contact Form Data:
When you submit our contact form, we process the following data:

• Your name (as provided by you)
• Your email address
• Your message
• Your IP address (for spam protection)
• Timestamp of submission

This data is sent via encrypted email to our inbox and is not stored in any database. We process this data solely to respond to your inquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries and maintaining communication with users). By submitting the form, you consent to this processing.

Cookies:
We don't use cookies. No tracking, no analytics, no third-party scripts.

Your Messages & Files:
Your encrypted or decrypted messages and files never touch our servers. Everything happens in your browser. We have zero access to your data.

We do not analyze or store any data collected during your visit to our website. No analytics tools, no tracking pixels, no data mining.

The only data temporarily processed is:

• Anonymous HTTP requests to serve HTML/CSS/JavaScript files
• These are not logged or stored beyond normal web server operation

We offer our encryption service free of charge, because we believe in everyone's right to privacy.

No ads, no premium tiers, no upsells. Just pure, secure encryption.

SSL/TLS Encryption:
Our website uses industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) with 2048-bit or stronger certificates. You can verify this by checking for the lock icon in your browser.

Server Location:
Our server is operated by us and located in the European Union (Germany), subject to strict EU data protection laws (GDPR).

Technical Measures:
We employ suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. Our security measures are continuously improved.

The complete source code of our encryption implementation is available for review. We use standard Web Crypto API methods with no obfuscation.

Check your browser's developer console to see the encryption process in action - everything happens locally.

Right to Information:
You always have the right to request information about your stored personal data free of charge. For contact form submissions, we store your IP address for a maximum of 7 days in rate-limit files for spam protection. For encryption/decryption operations, no personal data is stored (zero-knowledge architecture).

Right to Deletion:
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data at any time. For contact form submissions, you can request immediate deletion of your stored IP address by contacting us. Rate-limit data is automatically deleted after 7 days.

Right to Data Portability:
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format. For contact form submissions, this includes your stored IP address and timestamp. Please contact us to request your data.

Right to Objection:
You have the right to object to data processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). However, since we process minimal data only for technical necessity, there's nothing to object to.

Right to Lodge a Complaint:
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our data processing violates data protection laws.

Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA)
Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany
