Privacy & Security
Your Privacy is Our Priority
At Threadline, we understand that your emails contain sensitive and personal information. That's why we've built our platform with privacy and security as foundational principles.
End-to-End Email Encryption
We employ robust encryption for all email content stored in our system. Every email in your timeline is encrypted using AES-256-CBC symmetric encryption with a server-side encryption key before it's stored in our database.
What we encrypt:
- From: Sender's name and email address
- To: Recipient's email address
- Subject: The email subject line
- Body: The complete content of your emails
This means your email content is never stored in plaintext in our database. Even in the unlikely event of a database breach, your email content remains protected.
Secure Sharing
Our encryption approach allows you to securely share timelines with colleagues or clients without compromising on privacy. When you share a timeline, we handle the decryption securely on our servers, ensuring that only authorized users can access the information.
Your Data, Your Control
We believe in transparency and giving you control over your data:
- We only access the emails you explicitly search for
- We don't scan or analyze your inbox for any other purpose
- You can delete your timelines and associated data at any time
Technical Implementation
For the technically inclined, here's how our encryption works:
- We use AES-256-CBC symmetric encryption
- The encryption key is stored server-side and never exposed to clients
- All encryption/decryption happens on the server
- We use secure key management practices
