Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

At GeoHavn ("we", "our", "us"), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how GeoHavnVault handles your information.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

GeoHavnVault is built with zero-knowledge encryption, meaning:

  • All file encryption happens in your browser before upload
  • We never receive or store your encryption keys
  • We cannot decrypt or access the contents of your files
  • Only you can decrypt your files with your encryption key

Information We Collect

1. File Metadata

We store:

  • Encrypted file names
  • File sizes
  • Upload and expiration dates
  • API keys (randomly generated identifiers)

We do NOT store or have access to:

  • File contents (they're encrypted before reaching us)
  • Your encryption keys
  • Original file names (they're encrypted)

2. Payment Information

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We store:

  • Transaction IDs
  • Payment amounts and dates
  • Contact email (if provided for invoices)

We do NOT store credit card numbers or banking information.

3. Technical Information

Our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) may collect:

  • IP addresses
  • Browser type
  • Access times
  • Error logs

How We Use Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Provide the file storage service
  • Process payments
  • Send service-related emails (if email provided)
  • Maintain and improve our service
  • Comply with legal obligations

Data Retention

  • Files are automatically deleted after the paid storage period expires
  • Free trial files are deleted 30 days after the trial ends
  • Deleted files are permanently removed and cannot be recovered
  • Payment records are retained for tax and legal compliance

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your files anytime with your API key
  • Delete your files at any time
  • Not provide personal information (service works without it)
  • Use the service anonymously

GDPR Compliance

For users in the European Union:

  • We process data based on contract performance
  • You can request data deletion (though encrypted files are meaningless without your key)
  • We don't use your data for marketing or profiling
  • We don't sell or share your data with third parties

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

  • All data transmission is encrypted with TLS
  • Files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM
  • Infrastructure is protected by Cloudflare
  • Regular security audits and updates

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced on our website.
