Why we can't see your stuff

The big promise of Fyldit, explained like a story — not a science lesson.

Imagine a locked briefcase

Picture this: you have a briefcase with a special lock that only you have the key for. You put your most precious papers inside, snap it shut, and hand it to a courier to keep safe in their warehouse.

The courier can hold it, move it, deliver it back to you on demand. But they can't look inside. Not because we made them promise — because they literally can't. Only your key opens it.

That's exactly how Fyldit works. Your documents are locked on your device before they ever reach us. We hold the locked briefcase. You hold the only key.

What “Zero-Knowledge” means

“Zero-Knowledge” is just a fancy way of saying: we have zero knowledge of what's in your vault. None. We've built Fyldit so that even our own engineers cannot see what you save — and neither can hackers, governments, or anyone else who might want to look.

How it works, in 3 simple steps

1. Your personal key

When you sign up, you create a Master Key. It never leaves your device. It's yours alone, made up from a phrase you choose.

2. Locked on your device

Whenever you save a document, your phone or laptop locks it up with your Master Key — right there, before anything is sent. Only locked, scrambled data ever reaches our servers.

3. Safely stored

We keep your locked documents safe and ready. Without your Master Key they look like total nonsense — there's nothing to peek at.

The honest trade-off

Because we never see your Master Key, we can't reset it for you. This isn't a flaw — it's the entire point. It means:

  • No Fyldit employee can ever access your stuff, even if forced to try
  • A data breach exposes only nonsense — never your real files
  • Your privacy is guaranteed by maths, not by trust

That's why we built Trusted Circle Key — your circle holds a spare key together, so you can never be locked out, while we stay completely in the dark.

Why this matters for you

True privacy

Your documents remain private even from us. We couldn't read them if we wanted to.

Built to survive a breach

If our servers were ever broken into, attackers would only find scrambled data — useless without your personal Master Key.

No backdoors

There's no secret master switch. Not for us, not for governments, not for anyone. Your key is the only key.

Bank-grade protection

Fyldit uses the same kind of protection trusted by banks, hospitals and governments — the strongest there is. We just put it in plain English.

Common questions

If a court asked Fyldit for my data, what would you give them?
We'd only be able to hand over what we hold: locked, scrambled data. Without your Master Key, it's meaningless. We have no way to unlock it for them.
So if I lose my Master Key, you really can't help?
That's right — and it's why we built the Trusted Circle Key. Your friends and family hold a spare together, so you have a safety net while we stay completely blind.
Can you ever change this to make it easier to help me?
No — and we wouldn't want to. The moment we could see your data, so could a hacker or a government request. The whole point is that we genuinely cannot.
What about when I share something with someone?
When you share, your device relocks that document so only the person you chose can open it. Even during sharing, we never get a key.

Privacy by design, not by promise.

Your vault is yours. Always. We'll just look after the locked briefcase.
