Your Files Are Your Business

We can't see your files. Hackers can't steal them. Governments can't compel us to provide them. Our zero-knowledge encryption ensures your data remains yours—and only yours.

How We Keep Your Files Private

Think of it like this: your browser puts your files into a digital safe (encryption) and creates a unique key (your Decryption Key). You send us the locked safe, and you give the key to your recipient separately.

We never see the key, so we have no way of opening the safe. It's that simple.

1. Files Locked

Your browser locks your files before they are sent.

2. You Hold The Key

Only you and your recipient have the decryption key.

3. We Store The Safe

We only store the locked data, which is useless without the key.

The Technical Details

  • 1

    Client-Side Encryption

    We use the AES-256-GCM standard, run directly in your browser via the Web Crypto API. Your files are encrypted before they are uploaded.

  • 2

    High-Entropy Share Keys

    Each link pairs a 12-character Base32 beam ID with four sci-fi words and a six-digit verifier. Share the beam ID and key over separate channels for full strength.

  • 3

    Zero-Knowledge Storage

    Our servers only store the encrypted data blobs. Without the key, this data is indistinguishable from random noise.

  • 4

    Ephemeral by Design

    Files are permanently and irrecoverably deleted after 72 hours. There is no recovery, which is a key privacy feature.

  • 5

    Secure Transport

    All communication with our servers is protected by TLS 1.3. This means your already-encrypted files are sent through a second, encrypted tunnel.

Security Beyond Encryption

Keys Stay With You

The decryption key lives in the URL fragment and never reaches our servers. We literally cannot decrypt your data.

Not Discoverable

Shareable Beam IDs are paired with a server verification token. Guessing IDs isn’t enough—payload access requires both.

Zero Metadata

We never store filenames or file types. What we keep are encrypted blobs and minimal counters—nothing to fingerprint your content.

Ephemeral by Default

Files auto‑expire after 72 hours. No archives, no recovery, no lingering copies.

Bottom line: even with full server access, all that’s visible are encrypted blobs—no keys, no filenames, no way to link content to people.

Compliance-Ready Architecture

Our zero-knowledge architecture means we never have access to your data, making BeamIt.to suitable for professionals handling sensitive information. Since we can't decrypt your files, your data remains private regardless of where our infrastructure is located.

Privacy by Design (Art. 25)

Our zero-knowledge model ensures privacy is a core part of the architecture, not an afterthought.

Data Minimization (Art. 5)

We never see your filenames or content and only store encrypted data, collecting the absolute minimum necessary.

True Zero-Knowledge

We cannot access your data even if compelled - mathematical encryption ensures only you and your recipients can decrypt files.

Right to Erasure (Art. 17)

Our 72-hour auto-deletion policy ensures data is permanently erased, supporting the "right to be forgotten".
