What it does

Share sensitive information securely with self-destructing links. Paste your secret, generate a link, and share it. Once viewed, it

Send passwords, credentials, and sensitive data with links that work only once. Every design decision serves one purpose: make sure secrets are readable exactly once, then gone. Every secret is encrypted with its own unique key before being stored. Decryption keys live on the application server, never in the database — a defense-in-depth measure that limits exposure in the event of a data breach. After a single view, the secret is permanently purged from all storage. No copies, no recovery, no trace. Choose where your secrets live: EU, US, or other regions. Meet data sovereignty requirements at the point of creation. Built to support SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA workflows. Audit logs,…from onetimesecret.com
