Trust & transparency

Where your data goes — and where it doesn't.

EnvoiOK is local-first. Here's exactly what touches our servers, what we do with it, and where it lives.

By default

Nothing leaves.

In-memory editing

Merge, split, rotate, compress, annotate: it all happens inside the app. Your original file is never modified or sent anywhere.

Never leaves your PC

Signing & timestamping

PAdES signatures use your own certificate; the RFC-3161 timestamp call queries a third-party authority without transmitting the document's content.

Never leaves your PC
What touches our servers

Only when you trigger it.

A handful of optional features call our servers. Here's exactly what they send, and what we keep.

1

Account & licence — email, name, business ID

Encrypted at rest (Fernet) in our database; lookups (deduplication, login) go through a keyed HMAC hash — your email and business ID are never stored or compared in plaintext.

2

Word/Office → PDF conversion (optional, server-assisted)

If you have no local office suite, the file is written to a per-request temp directory, converted, streamed back, and the directory is deleted immediately — nothing is logged or retained beyond the request.

3

Support form

Your email and message are encrypted at rest, used only to reply to you.

4

Waitlist (upcoming editions)

Your email is encrypted at rest, used only to notify you when your edition ships.

5

IP address

Used transiently to route you to the right edition (by country) and to rate-limit abuse — not retained, not used for profiling.

Cookies

One cookie, purely functional.

This site sets a single cookie: region (France/International), set only when you choose your edition, remembered for 1 year. No advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies — that's why you don't see a consent banner.

Hosting & infrastructure

Your data stays in Europe.

Our infrastructure runs on Scaleway and netcup, on servers located in Nürnberg, Wien and Paris.
