SECURITY & PRIVACY

We can't lose what we never hold.

Privacy isn't a setting in Aetherly — it's the architecture. Because your files travel directly between devices, there's simply no copy on a server to leak, get subpoenaed, or be mined.

SECURITY & PRIVACY

No server storage

Files and text move over a direct P2P channel. They are never uploaded to or cached on our infrastructure.

End-to-end encryption

The WebRTC transport is encrypted by default — and only the two devices at each end hold the keys. We never do.

Opt-in presence

You decide when you're discoverable. Presence is opt-in and limited to your own devices, contacts and nearby.

Zero content logging

Logs hold no file or message content. Even text snippets stay in memory on-device, never written to our logs.

GDPR, under German law

Aetherly is built and operated by DuyTec GmbH in Germany — fully under EU GDPR, with data minimization at its core.

Delete in two taps

Delete your account in two taps. A 30-day grace period lets you reactivate; after that, it's gone for good.

What we never receive
  • Your file or folder contents
  • The text snippets you transfer
  • Thumbnails or previews of your data
What we keep to run the service
  • Account & login (email, your devices)
  • Contacts, favorites & presence state
  • Transfer metadata (size, time — not content)

We keep only name and size for your history — never the file itself.
