Browser-side encryption by default

CipherSend encrypts the payload in your browser before it ever touches our storage layer. When you toggle Custom Encryption Key, your secret is sealed with the passphrase you control—no plaintext transmissions, no server-side decoding.

Secrets are disposable

Every generated link is designed for single use. Once a recipient opens it, CipherSend deletes the payload instantly and marks the record as burned. Stale links are purged automatically after 24 hours if they are never opened.

Transparent audit trail

We keep metadata minimal on purpose. Each secret stores a creation timestamp and whether it has been viewed. Nothing else. This ensures that even if someone gained access to the datastore, there is no readable content to leak.

Security is a moving target, and we continuously review our assumptions. If you spot something we should explore, drop us a note—we would love to hear from you.
