Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 11, 2026

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

This Privacy Policy explains what account and service information SafelyShare handles, how safe files and wrapped keys move through the product, and the choices available to you.

How Safe Files Are Handled

SafelyShare separates safe-file transfer from the server-side timelock service:

  • On-device encryption. Selected files are encrypted in the app with AES-256-GCM before transfer.
  • Local file transfer. Encrypted safe files are sent over a local connection to the recipient's device. The SafelyShare application server is not used to store safe files.
  • Server-side timelock data. The service stores account and safe metadata, the recipient's public key, and a wrapped safe key so the timelock can release it when due.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create a SafelyShare account, we collect:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • A password hash used to authenticate your account

Service Usage Data

We collect service data needed to operate accounts, transfers, timelocks, notifications, and subscriptions:

  • Safe metadata (names, creation dates, expiry dates)
  • Timelock extension events
  • Notification preferences
  • Subscription status
  • Registered device identifiers, push tokens, and heartbeat times
  • Operational logs and request metadata used for security and troubleshooting

Safe File Contents and Private Keys

Safe file contents are transferred locally between devices rather than uploaded to the SafelyShare application server. RSA private keys remain in device secure storage; the server receives the recipient's public key and wrapped safe key.

How We Use Your Information

We use this information to:

  • Provide and operate the SafelyShare service
  • Store reminder preferences for planned notification delivery
  • Send important service announcements
  • Respond to support requests

Website Language Suggestion

If you have not saved a language preference, your browser may contact country.is once per tab session to determine your country. Country.is receives your IP address and returns a country code. SafelyShare uses that code only to offer English or Dutch and does not store the returned IP address or country code.

Data Security

Current technical safeguards include:

  • AES-256-GCM encryption for safe files in the app
  • RSA-2048 wrapping of safe keys to the recipient's public key
  • HTTPS/TLS for website and application API traffic
  • Password hashing and authenticated API access controls

Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights to:

  • Access personal data associated with your account
  • Correct any inaccurate personal data
  • Request deletion of your account data
  • Export your account data
  • Restrict processing of your personal data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@safelyshare.app.

Data Retention

Account, device, subscription, and safe metadata is retained while needed to provide the service. Account deletion removes active account records and owned safes; limited information may remain in backups, operational logs, or records retained to meet legal obligations until their normal retention periods end.

Children's Privacy

SafelyShare is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the date on this page and provide additional notice when required.
