Privacy Policy
Last updated April 19, 2026. Henedo’s architecture is zero-knowledge by design, most of what a typical privacy policy must enumerate, we literally cannot collect.
Summary
- We collect the minimum data required for authentication and billing.
- All vault contents, documents, journal entries, contact bundles, crypto keys, final messages, are encrypted end-to-end with keys we never see.
- We do not sell your data, do not use ad networks, and do not set tracking cookies.
- You can export, delete, or port your data at any time.
Data we collect
Account identifiers: email address, account creation timestamp, optional phone number for SMS 2FA.
Billing metadata: subscription plan, billing address, payment processor transaction IDs. Actual payment card details are handled by our payment processor (Stripe) and never reach Henedo’s servers.
Ciphertext: the encrypted blobs of your vault contents, journal entries, contact bundles, signing keys, and Eternal Vault seals. We cannot decrypt these.
Operational metadata: timestamps, file sizes, MIME types (required for quota and content-type headers), session events (last login, heartbeat, DMS state transitions).
Contact PII (server-side encrypted): trusted-contact names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, and relationships. Required so we can send DMS trigger notifications. Encrypted at rest with pgcrypto AES-256 using a key stored in a private `_pii` schema only a SECURITY DEFINER function can access. A database-only breach cannot decrypt this data.
Data we do not collect
- The content of your vault (documents, photos, videos, journal entries, final messages).
- File names or folder names (encrypted client-side with your Master Key).
- Crypto recovery phrases or passwords (encrypted client-side).
- Your Master Key, your Account Secret Key, your passphrase, or any decryption material.
- Behavioral tracking, cross-site cookies, or advertising identifiers.
Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
You can at any time: access the account data we hold, export an encrypted archive of your vault, correct inaccuracies, delete your account and all associated ciphertext, and restrict processing.
Requests: privacy@henedo.com. We respond within 30 days (typically within 48 hours).
Subprocessors
We use the following subprocessors to deliver the service:
- Supabase (auth, database, storage), data is encrypted before it reaches Supabase infrastructure.
- Stripe (payment processing), processes card data directly; Henedo never sees card numbers.
- Postmark (transactional email), sends authentication, billing, and DMS warning emails.
- Cloudflare (CDN, DDoS protection).
Retention
Active accounts: data retained until you delete your account. Deleted accounts: all ciphertext, encrypted metadata, and PII (encrypted or otherwise) permanently purged within 30 days. Billing records retained for 7 years per US tax law. Eternal Vaults are retained for their purchased duration (100–500 years), separate from the Living Vault.
