None of the bullshit, Privacy & Security is serious.
How we secure Data
- Salted hashes passwords.
- SSL. and forced HTTPS. (Check for the lock)
- Cloud-flare.
- We are privately owned and do not answer to a parent company.
- Private data for our services is stored on encrypted drives.
- After 3 months, Old Private user data is packaged up, encrypted with AES-1024, Sent to a foreign country server, then the key is emailed to your account. We then forget the key, and scrub the memory where it was. (You can also opt-out of this, we then just delete and scrub)
- We also maintain bots that watch known leak locations and maintain a database of leaked passwords. When you sign up, we check to see if that password is vulnerable. When new leaks are found, we check the hashes of these new leaks to our own internal DB. If its found, we lock the account, and send you an email.
- There is also some honeypot activity.
- We use these options where available and where it makes sense.
Government Involvement
- We have not received any request to turn over our SSL keys.
- We have not installed software to subvert our privacy or security.
- We have never terminated a customer or taken down content due to political pressure.
- We have never provided any law enforcement organization a feed of customers’ content transiting their network.
- We have not turned over any data to any entity.
- Who likes Government over-site and over-broad subpoenas? We don’t!
