Encryption happens client-side. The server stores only ciphertext and never sees the key.
Core value
One product, adapted for different operational needs
Zero-knowledge by design
The decryption key stays in the URL fragment, so the server never receives it.
Ephemeral transfer
Data is deleted after the first access or after the chosen expiry window passes unread.
Auditable deployment
Minimal stack, no runtime package sprawl, and clean deployment paths for managed or sovereign installs.

FAQ
Questions teams ask before deployment
Does PrivateBurn replace email or chat?
No. It replaces the unsafe act of putting secrets into systems that retain searchable history.
Can we deploy it inside our own environment?
Yes. Private cloud, isolated instances, and on-premise deployment are all part of the model.
What is actually stored on the server?
Only encrypted bytes. The decryption key stays on the client side in the link fragment.
