A few things worth knowing
Can I download SeraShield today?+
Not yet. SeraShield is currently a privacy publication and a collection of browser tools. The iPhone app is a concept we are evaluating.
Do the tools upload my photos?+
No. Photo processing and file fingerprints run in your browser. Your selected files are not sent to a processing server.
Is the phone preview a real vault?+
No. It is an interactive design illustration using sample artwork. Do not use it to store private information.
