Fully Encrypted
Fully encrypted means that all of your data is converted into unreadable code to prevent unauthorized access — at every stage of its journey. Here's what it involves:
In simple terms:
- Only you can read it. Your data is protected with encryption keys that only you (or your device) have.
- From start to finish. Whether the data is stored on your device, being sent over the internet, or backed up to the cloud — it stays encrypted.
- If someone intercepts it, it's useless. Without the key, the data looks like random gibberish.
Types of encryption involved in "fully encrypted":
- At rest – when stored on your device or in the cloud.
- In transit – when it's being sent between your device and a server (like HTTPS).
- End-to-end – only sender and receiver can decrypt the data, not even the service provider.
Why it matters:
- Protects your privacy and sensitive documents (like IDs, passports, medical records).
- Guards against hackers, data leaks, and surveillance.
- Builds trust, especially for apps handling personal data.
