Terms of Service

Rules and guidelines for using the SecLink platform.

What is SecLink?

SecLink is a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted platform designed for sharing sensitive text-based information securely across the internet. We provide the infrastructure to transit data safely without ever gaining access to the contents of that data.

Acceptable Use

SecLink is intended for legitimate personal and professional use. Examples of acceptable use include:

  • Sharing API keys, passwords, and server credentials securely with coworkers.
  • Transmitting sensitive HR documents or salary figures.
  • Secure communication between journalists and sources.
  • Protecting personal financial details in transit.

Prohibited Use

You may not use SecLink to engage in illegal activities. The following activities are strictly prohibited and will result in IP bans and reporting to relevant authorities:

  • Sharing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
  • Human trafficking or exploitation.
  • Terrorism or sharing terror-related material.
  • The sale or distribution of illegal drugs or weapons.
  • Distribution of malware, ransomware, or phishing campaigns.
  • Extortion, blackmail, or harassment.

Data Retention Policy

Secrets are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers based on the expiry policy chosen by the sender (e.g., after 1 view, 1 hour, or 7 days). Access logs (which contain metadata and hashed IP addresses, but no secret data) are permanently purged after 90 days.

Law Enforcement Cooperation

Because SecLink uses zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption, we are technically incapable of handing over the plaintext contents of any secret to law enforcement, as we do not possess the decryption keys. We will, however, comply with valid legal requests regarding metadata and access logs (e.g., hashed IP addresses and timestamps) to the extent that such data exists.

How to Report Abuse

If you discover a SecLink URL being used in violation of these Terms of Service, please immediately contact our Trust & Safety team at abuse@datafort.cloud. Please include the URL in question.

Limitation of Liability

SecLink is provided "as is" without any warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any lost data, compromised endpoint devices, or damages resulting from the use of our service.

Note: We cannot recover deleted secrets. Once a secret is viewed or expired, it is permanently wiped from our Redis databases and cannot be restored under any circumstances.
