Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Verzegeld ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our time capsule service at verzegeld.com.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

Name, email address, and password when you create an account.

Capsule Metadata

Recipient email, delivery date, content type, and payment information. We never have access to your capsule content as it is end-to-end encrypted in your browser.

Payment Data

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We store only Stripe customer/payment IDs, never your card details.

Usage Data

IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps for security and analytics purposes.

3. End-to-End Encryption

Your capsule content (text, audio, video) is encrypted in your browser using AES-256-GCM before being transmitted to our servers. The encryption keys are derived from RSA-4096 key pairs that only you and your recipient control. We cannot decrypt, read, or access your capsule content under any circumstances.

4. Data Storage

Encrypted capsule data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure with 99.999999999% durability. Data transitions through S3 Standard, S3 Infrequent Access, and S3 Glacier based on age and access patterns.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We share data only with:

  • Stripe - for payment processing
  • Amazon Web Services - for encrypted data storage
  • Law enforcement - only when required by law (we can only provide metadata, never content)

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your account and associated data at any time. You can delete your account from your profile settings. Note that sealed capsules cannot be modified once sealed.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We use localStorage for theme preferences. We do not use third-party tracking cookies.
