Private End-to-End Encrypted PDF File Sharing

Ever searched for a way to share documents securely, only to find that every solution compromises your privacy? Look no further.

Introducing Privacy Portal’s File Sharing - Where Privacy Meets Simplicity

Privacy Portal’s File Sharing is designed for those who refuse to settle for anything less than complete privacy:

• End-to-End Encrypted: Your file transfers are secured with end-to-end encryption. This means only you and the recipient can access the content. We at Privacy Portal never see your data.
• Peer-to-Peer Transfer: Files move directly between users without any intermediary storage. Once you close the app, the file transfer link becomes unavailable, ensuring your data doesn’t linger on servers.
• Relayed for Reliability: While your encrypted data travels peer-to-peer, it’s relayed through our servers to enhance both reliability and privacy, without compromising security.
• Zero Personal Information: Share files without revealing personal details. No need for email addresses or phone numbers, keeping your identity confidential.
• Ephemeral by Design: Files aren’t automatically saved to the recipient’s device. They’re held in memory, allowing for safe previewing and printing, especially useful on public computers where you don’t want to leave digital traces. The file vanishes from memory once the session ends unless the receiver explicitly chooses to save it.

With Privacy Portal’s File Sharing, enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your documents are shared securely, privately, and only when and where you want them to be.

Privacy Drawbacks of Conventional File Sharing Methods

All existing file sharing solutions come with privacy and security compromises:

1. Email Sharing:

• Privacy Leak: Exposes your email address to the recipient.
• Data Retention: Stores copies of your file in email servers of both sender and receiver, potentially accessible by third parties. The file gets retained and is indefinitely accessible in the recipient’s mailbox.

2. Encrypted Messaging Apps:

• Personal Information Exposure: Often requires sharing your phone number.
• Data Storage: Despite encryption, files are stored on the app’s servers and the recipient’s device, increasing the risk of data breaches.
• Data Retention: Often the file is indefinitely retained and accessible by the recipient.
• Compatibility: Requires the recipient to have an account with the messaging app in question.

3. USB Device Sharing:

• Security Risks: Transfers via USB can expose your device to malware or unauthorized access, risking not just the file but your entire system.

4. File Sharing Apps:

• Identity Exposure: Often exposes your personal details like your name and email address to the recipient and to the service.
• Data Persistence: Even in the best scenarios, your files are stored for a period of time on the service’s servers.

Each of these methods compromises your privacy in various ways, highlighting the need for a solution like Privacy Portal’s File Sharing, which prioritizes your privacy at every step.

How does Privacy Portal’s File Sharing Work?

1. Select Your File: Choose the PDF you wish to share securely.
2. Recipient Notification: Enter the recipient’s email address. They will receive a notification via email that a file awaits them.
3. Secure Connection: Upon clicking the link and entering a verification code, a peer-to-peer connection is established between your device and the recipient’s, facilitated by our Privacy Portal relay servers. This connection ensures end-to-end encryption, keeping all data confidential from our servers.
4. File Transfer: Once the secure link is set up, the file transfer begins directly between the devices.
5. Preview and Print: The recipient can preview the document directly in their browser without downloading it to their device. They can also print the file without storing it locally. The file remains in memory and is deleted once the browser tab is closed unless the recipient explicitly chooses to save it.

This process ensures that your file sharing is not only private but also controlled, giving both the sender and the recipient full authority over the data’s lifecycle.
