You don’t disclose data to any third party. lndeed, the uploaded file is locally encrypted, in your browser, before reaching our server.
Your file is encrypted with an unique cryptographic fingerprint computed with SHA256 and only this data will be sent to the Blockchain.
By clicking on ‘timestamp a new version’, you can generate audit trails that track all the changes happening to your file.
