Understanding CE2EE encryption
### What CE2EE means
CE2EE (Client-Side End-to-End Encryption) means your data is encrypted directly on your device before it is sent to VaultiXe.
This ensures only you have access to your information.
### How it works
- Your data is encrypted on your device before upload
- Only encrypted data is stored on VaultiXe servers
- Decryption happens only on your trusted devices
- Your encryption key remains entirely under your control
### What VaultiXe cannot access in CE2EE
- File contents
- Form responses
- Community messages or shared files
- Encryption keys
### What may still be visible
- File size
- Upload time
- Basic routing information needed to deliver your data securely
### When to use CE2EE
- Private personal documents
- Sensitive forms and submissions
- Confidential team or community spaces
### Important note
If you lose your encryption key, your data cannot be recovered.
This is what makes CE2EE truly zero-knowledge and user-controlled.
