Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. That is because we base our business on trust you place in us. This policy describes our practices regarding personal and account information collected through our web site.

We will periodically review the appropriateness of this privacy policy and may make, in our discretion, such changes as are necessary. If we decide to change this privacy policy, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. You should visit our web site periodically to review any changes.

Do we use the secret data for any other purpose?

No. We currently do not analyze or look at the secrets in any manual or automated way. A couple of people have suggested we analyze the data anonymously for statistical purposes (to gather stats on weak passwords, etc.). We currently don't have any plans on doing this, but might consider it in the future. We will definitely mention it here if we do.

How safe is this tool?

We feel that this tool is definitely safer than using email or chat tools to send private information. However, if you are concerned that any third party (ie. us) holding this data is a risk, then you should consider either encrypting the data first and passing the credentials for this one-time via another means, or use something else altogether (GnuPG is a good candidate).

What personal and account information do we collect?

The amount and type of personal and account information we collect from you depends on your activities and use of our web site. Below, we explain what information we collect under specific contexts.

What measures do we use to protect your personal information?

  • We use secure, encrypted mechanisms (SSL) when accepting and transmitting information.
  • We regularly perform security audits and updates on our servers.

When you browse our web site

  • IP address - We collect your IP address to measure our web site traffic and to help prevent malicious use.
  • Referral web site - If you come to our web site via a link, we collect the location of the link that referred you.
  • Browser and platform - We collect information about the browser you are using to help optimize our web site for visitors.
F.A.Q.

We can't show it to you because we don't know what it is. When you create a secret with a passphrase, we immediately hash it. Since we don't store the passphrase, we have no way to show it to you. That also means when you include a passphrase, we have no way to decrypt your secret.

We display the value for you so that you can verify it but we do that once so that if someone gets this private page (in your browser history or if you accidentally send the private link instead of the secret one), they won't see the secret value.

The secret link will be available for 7 days or until it's viewed.

Burning a secret will delete it before it has been read. If you send someone a secret link and burn the secret before they view it, they will not be able to read it. In fact, it will look to them like the secret never existed at all.
