"Your files, not ours": the facts behind the tagline
At Peerdweb, we take privacy seriously - it's one of the core principles that spawned the company. We understand that the files you are looking to protect may contain sensitive data, and we want to assure you that your information is in safe hands; yours. Our commitment to user privacy is reflected in our tagline: "Your files, not ours."
How It Works:
When you upload a file to Peerdweb, you might wonder what happens to it. The answer is simple: Your files never leave your browser. Here's how we ensure your data remains in your control:
Local Hashing with SHA-256: As soon as you select a file for upload, our platform uses JavaScript running directly in your browser to compute a SHA-256 hash of the file. This process happens locally on your device, and only the resulting hash is sent to our servers. This hash is a unique fingerprint of your file and contains no information about the file's content.
No File Storage: We do not store the files you upload. Once we receive the hash, we use it to provide you with essential services, such as timestamping and verification, while keeping your data private and secure.
Zero-Knowledge Policy: We adhere to a strict zero-knowledge policy. This means that even we cannot access the content of your files. We only deal with the hashes, and we have no knowledge of your data's specifics.
Encryption: Communication with our servers is encrypted to ensure that your data remains confidential during transit.
Why Your Privacy Matters:
We understand that you trust us with your data, and we take that trust seriously. By ensuring that your files never leave your browser, we offer a level of privacy and security that is of utmost importance, especially when dealing with sensitive information. Our approach safeguards your data against unauthorized access, ensuring that only you have control and access to your files.
A Commitment to Transparency:
We are committed to being transparent about our data handling practices. Our "Your files, not ours" philosophy is not just a tagline; it's a fundamental part of our service. We want you to feel confident in using our platform, knowing that your data remains private and under your control.
