What Would Dad Say.

Privacy & security

How your data is stored.

Encryption, where files live, what gets backed up, and how to export.

Updated

Your messages are stored encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption. Files are hosted on a major US-based cloud provider with SOC 2 compliance.

Backups

We keep encrypted backups so your messages survive a hardware failure on our side. When you delete a message, it's purged from live storage within 24 hours and from backup snapshots within 90 days.

Exports

You can export your full vault at any time from Settings → Export. The export includes:

  • Original media files (video, audio, text)
  • Scheduled delivery metadata
  • A human-readable index

Exports are available as a downloadable archive. Premium and Lifetime users can also enable scheduled exports to a personal cloud drive.

Account deletion

See Delete my account for the full deletion process.
