The Simple Truth: We Store Nothing

We use AES-256-GCM encryption, a military-grade standard
Encryption keys are randomly generated for each message
Keys never leave your browser and are never transmitted to our servers

Message Storage

No server-side storage or logging of message content
Messages are destroyed immediately after viewing
No recovery mechanism exists for viewed messages
