Confidentiality of Encrypted Content

Encryption: By using the Service, you understand that the content uploaded and/or shared over the Service ("Customer Files") are encrypted using client-side encryption before leaving the User's device ("Encrypted Content"). Encrypted Content cannot be decrypted or inverted by Selfdestruct or any unauthorized third party, to the best of Selfdestruct's knowledge and current state of the art.

Encryption Key: Selfdestruct does not have access to encryption keys and has no way of recovering encryption keys associated with your Encrypted Content. Selfdestruct is not responsible if Encrypted Content is unable to be decrypted due to a lost encryption key. Users are strongly advised to make backups of any content on their own systems.

Customer Files

Content: You realize that Selfdestruct protects Customer Files with powerful cryptographic techniques, and that as a Customer, you are totally and alone responsible for the content of Customer Files. You warrant that you have all necessary licenses for each Customer File – including copyright and other intellectual property rights – to distribute, transfer, store, and/or make the material available online through the Services by utilizing the Services.

Data processing and transfer

Data processing: Selfdestruct gathers certain non-encrypted information ("Service Data"), which don't contain Personal Data, in order to operate and provide the Services. Customer acknowledges that Encrypted Content is not considered Personal Data by Selfdestruct due to client-side encryption, as Selfdestruct cannot use encrypted information to identify any individual.

Sub-processors: Customer accepts that in providing the Services, Selfdestruct will use authorized service providers to process Encrypted Content and Service Data ("Sub-processors").

Data transfers: Customers agree that Selfdestruct and its Sub-processors may transport Encrypted Content and Service Data between their servers and Users' devices, allowing Users access to Customer Files in countries other than Customer's.
