Sensitive data starts its new life as soon as you hit 'Send.' Now, living now on your friend's phone or app, the security of your secret is out of your hands. Sendsecure.ly converts text into a single-use, expirable, and shareable link for free.
Howdy, Product Hunt!
As much as we love them, not all our friends and family members take security as seriously as we’d like. So if we ever send them our passwords, credit card numbers, or sensitive text, you can assume your secret just set up itself rent-free in your recipient’s chat history or inbox indefinitely. That’s bad.
Maybe we’re paranoid (working at a data security company will do that), but we wanted a better alternative. So we built sendsecure.ly at a recent hackathon.
❓ What is sendsecure.ly ❓
The site allows anyone to swap their sensitive plaintext secret with a single-use undecipherable link to share with anyone. Once opened by a recipient, your secret will be revealed and then promptly destroyed. A timebox on all secrets ensures unopened links are also destroyed.
🤘🏽 How does it work? 🤘🏽
1️⃣ Type in your secret and set the expiration period
2️⃣ Generate a single-use link
3️⃣ Share your link (sensecure.ly reveals the text to the first recipient to open it)
⚠️ NOTE: The secret is permanently destroyed once the link is opened or expired.
🤔 When might I use sendsecure.ly
> A password to a subscription service, such as Netflix, Amazon, or Spotify, may need to be shared with a partner or other household members.
> Personally identifiable information, such as an SSN or passport number, may need to be sent to your company’s HR department.
> Secrets used in software development, like API Keys or credentials used for authentication to a software system, may need to be shared with a coworker.
🔏 Why should I trust sendsecure.ly?
Sendsecure.ly was built by and on top of Basis Theory, a data security company helping developers secure, manage and use their sensitive data. Your secret is encrypted and stored in its PCI Level 1 data vault and SOC 2 certified environment until it is claimed or expired (i.e. when we destroy it). As a result, Sendsecure.ly, the app, is never exposed to your secret.
Also, we recently raised some money from some pretty reputable VCs, and our leadership comes from Klarna, Dwolla, and the US Airforce. You can read more about our story here: https://basistheory.com/blog/dat...

Another awesome product from the Basis Theory team. Very cool this was built in a hackathon. Your team’s focus on True data security and not needing a PHD in data science to use is a Win for all. Thanks for building a better way to safely share sensitive information. Keep ripping it up!

This is pretty cool, I legit was trying to find something like this to send PII information to a paralegal.
I use to use a similar service a lot when sharing information with third party vendors.
I'd also love to pin this to my home screen (can do this) or have a little mini-app on phone where I could copy directly to it via share sheet and get a secure link back on the clipboard.
Just tried it, really speedy and perfect UI.
Here's a bad use case example, but just so someone can see a 'hey producthunt' message, hahaha.
(This would be epic to combine with real life QR codes, like a treasure hunt. First person to scan gets a free coffee code or something.)

@steve_jang1 great question! You can't use the sendsecure.ly application specifically - the underlying tokenization is available for all developers at http://basistheory.com!
