FAIRSEND
Others transfer files.
We protect them.

Zero-knowledge architecture
The encryption key is generated in your browser and never sent to our server. Even we cannot decrypt your files — not even upon request from authorities. That's the difference between "encrypted" and "truly secure".
🔒 Privacy & Security
🟢 Fairsend
- AES-256-GCM encryption directly in the browser — the server never sees plaintext
- Servers exclusively in Germany — no Cloud Act, no Patriot Act
- Fully GDPR-compliant — privacy is core architecture, not an add-on
- No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no third-party cookies
- Self-hosted analytics (Matomo) — your usage data never leaves our infrastructure
🔴 Other providers
- Encryption only on the server (if at all) — provider can read your files
- Servers in the US, Ireland or Singapore — subject to the US Cloud Act
- GDPR compliance often questionable — data transferred to third countries
- Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel and ad trackers active by default
- Usage data is analyzed, shared with third parties, or monetized

🔴 Other providers

"I built Fairsend because I couldn't trust any existing service with sensitive client data. The key never leaves the browser — not even we can read along. That's not a marketing promise, that's architecture."
Abraham Weinmann — Co-Founder & Developer, Fairsend GmbH
