Your private key, personal riddles and data and group encryption keys are uniquely generated for every user and data item. Your data is encrypted in your device, during network transmission and in the database. Our privacy features allow you to control your share and connect privacy settings at all times. By default, all our users are private and not connected to any other user.
Your private key is self-encrypted. Only the encrypted private key is stored in the database and cannot be read in the backend. It cannot decrypt unless re-entered. You can change it any time, and you should once in a while.
Your riddles are self-encrypted. Only the encrypted riddle is stored in the database and cannot be read in the backend. Your riddles act as security gates to your personal network in riddlock. You must have at least 1 riddle and a maximum of 99. Keeping several riddles increases the security of your data. You can add new riddles or delete existing ones any time you want.
As your private key and riddles are self-encrypted, riddlock cannot help you retrieve your login credentials in case you forget your private key or riddles. This is important to protect your identity and data.
Your private key and riddles are used to encrypt or lock your data and files. Encryption keys are also generated for connected and group data. This makes encryption unique for every user and connected data. As a result your data and files are not readable by anybody else, not even our backend team.
Your share handle is your only public interface to share or connect. You can connect with other users only if you create your share handle first. When you create your share handle, choose something intriguing so that your identity is not disclosed. If you do not create a share handle, you and your data will remain totally private. Your share handle is not displayed to other users by default (they need to ask you). You can change your share handle any time.
When you connect an item with data and/or files, that item is uniquely re-encrypted for you and the connected user using public-private key pairing. All other items remain hidden for both of you. You can remove any user connected to your data item or disconnect yourself from another user's item any time. You may even block a user from future connects.
A group is a network of private networks. It can have unlimited subgroups where data in one subgroup is not visible to other subgroups. Users can be tagged as group admins, subgroup admins or members each with different access rights. Users can be tagged, untagged, blocked or removed any time.
External users are those who do not have an account in riddlock. If you want to share a file, a subset of data or an entire data item, you can post it in both online and offline modes (offline if supported by your device) to an email id or to another app you may have on your device. For sharing an entire item page where you may have multiple data posts and files, you can email the page link with a password for the external user to view. You may choose to discontinue external share any time you want.
Riddlock does not ask for your name, identity, profile, date of birth, gender, email id, mobile number, contact details or other personal data so that you remain anonymous, always! When you connect with other users, its is only your share handle which you disclose.
