Terms of Service

1. Your account

Give a real email address and keep your sign-in safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts Potent Cipher or other people at risk. A suspension names the rule and the reason. A suspended account's vault stays encrypted and untouched.

2. Your vault, your passphrase

Your vault is encrypted on your device with a key made from your vault passphrase. We never receive that passphrase or your keys, so we cannot read your vault, and we cannot reset or recover your passphrase.

Keep your passphrase and your Recovery Key safe. If you lose both, and you did not turn on email recovery, your vault cannot be opened by anyone, including us. You accept this as the cost of a vault nobody else can read.

If you turn on email recovery, you accept the trade-off explained where you switch it on and in the Privacy Policy.

3. The file tool

The file encryption tool runs in your browser and does not upload your files. You are responsible for keeping the passphrase of each file; without it, the file cannot be decrypted.

4. Plans and payments

The Free plan is free with the limits shown on the pricing page. Pro is a paid subscription for 1, 6 or 12 months, paid through our payment provider. Prices are shown before you pay.

If a paid period ends or a payment fails, your account returns to the Free limits. Nothing is deleted: your data stays readable and exportable, and new items above the Free limits are blocked until you are back under them or on Pro.

5. Acceptable use

• Use Potent Cipher only for your own data and accounts, or ones you are allowed to manage.
• Do not use it to store or share material that is illegal where you live or in India.
• Do not attack, overload, scrape or try to break into Potent Cipher or other people's accounts. Report security problems to support@softwaretrinkets.com instead; we welcome them.
• Do not resell Potent Cipher or pretend to be us.

6. What we promise and what we don't

We work to keep Potent Cipher available and secure, and we tell you plainly when something important changes. We can't promise it will never be unavailable or never have a bug.

As far as the law allows, Sukrit Thakur (SoftwareTrinkets) is not liable for indirect losses, or for data you cannot open because a passphrase or Recovery Key was lost. Keep your own backups of anything you can't afford to lose.

7. Changes

We may update these terms. When the change matters, we tell you in your inbox before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the last change.
