Keep secrets out of email
Privacylink helps freelancers, advisers and small businesses share sensitive details safely alongside everyday communication. Create a temporary encrypted message, then share the secure link by email or through a separate channel such as WhatsApp, Signal or Teams.
The recipient opens the message after mailbox verification. No account setup, no phone number required, and Privacylink cannot read the secret.
For sensitive details in everyday communication
Privacylink is intended for situations where email, Teams or WhatsApp are practical enough for the context, but not for the secret itself. Think of a password, code, client detail or temporary access information that you want to share quickly without leaving it in inboxes, forwards or chat history.
Freelancers and advisers
Temporarily share a password, code or client detail without setting up a new portal process.
Small businesses
Use a simple workflow for sensitive operational information between known contacts.
Support and administration
Keep the secret out of ordinary email while retaining visibility into status, opening and expiry.
Email is good for context, but not for secrets
Email is useful for explaining what someone needs to do, but less suitable for storing the secret itself. A password, code or temporary client detail can quickly start lingering in inboxes, forwards, search results and backups.
Stays around too long
Something meant to be temporary often remains searchable in mailboxes and archives for months or years.
Spreads easily
A forwarded message, shared mailbox or CC can put the secret in front of more people than intended.
Puts everything in one place
Explanation, sender, recipient, timestamp and secret sit in the same thread. Privacylink removes the secret from that thread and makes it temporarily available through a separate secure link.
Fewer lasting copies, clear limits
Privacylink reduces the chance that a secret keeps lingering in email, forwards or backups for years. The content is made available temporarily and removed where possible. That makes sharing more practical and safer, but not foolproof: security also depends on the channel used to share the link, whether the full link is handled carefully, and whether the recipient copies, stores or forwards the content after opening it.
What Privacylink helps with
- The message body is encrypted in the browser before storage takes place.
- Privacylink does not store enough information to read the message content itself.
- The recipient must prove access to the intended mailbox.
- The content is temporarily available and disappears from the server after opening, revocation or expiry.
What remains your responsibility
- Do not use the subject for passwords, tokens or other secrets.
- Share the full link carefully through an appropriate channel. A separate channel can be safer than the same email thread.
- Treat the link as sensitive while the message can still be opened.
- Do not use the beta for information with an exceptionally high risk profile.
