Data Minimization

In the security world, "data minimization" means collecting only the data you absolutely need to function. If you don't have it, you can't lose it.

At CipherSend, we take this to the extreme.

The Risk of User Profiles

If we required you to create an account to send a secret, we would have to store:

• Your email address.
• A password hash.
• A history of your activity (logs).

If our user database were breached, attackers could see who is sending secrets to whom. That metadata alone can be dangerous. "Why is the CEO sending a secret to a bankruptcy lawyer?"

Stateless Sharing

By not having accounts, every transaction is isolated. We don't know who you are. We don't know who the recipient is. We just move the payload from A to B and then forget it ever happened.

Frictionless Security

Beyond privacy, no-account systems are simply faster. Security tools that are a pain to use get bypassed. By removing the signup wall, we make it easier for your team to do the right thing.

Conclusion

You are not a "user" to us; you are a temporary guest. And in the world of secret sharing, that's the safest way to be.
