Your Data Stays Yours
Zero-Knowledge Security That Actually Works
The Promise: Even we can’t see your private medical data.
The Reality: It’s mathematically impossible for us to access your information.
This isn’t just marketing - it’s how we built our entire platform.

Comparing Security Approaches
Security Model | Data Breach Risk | Access Control | Compliance |
---|---|---|---|
Traditional Cloud | High - Your data exposed | Service controls access | Basic compliance |
Encrypted Cloud | Medium - Service has keys | Service controls access | Better compliance |
Zero-Knowledge | None - Encrypted data useless | You control access | Maximum compliance |

Questions About Security?
Common Concerns
Q: What if I forget my passphrase?
A: Your data becomes unrecoverable. This is by design for maximum security.
Q: Can governments force you to decrypt my data?
A: Impossible. We don’t have your encryption keys.
Q: How do I know you’re not lying about zero-knowledge?
A: Our code is auditable, and third-party security firms verify our claims.
Q: Is this really as secure as you claim?
A: More secure. Even we can’t access your data if we wanted to.
