Personal Data
This server processes the following information:
- OpenPGP public keys
- OpenPGP public keys normally contain personal data in the form of User IDs (typically email addresses) and key fingerprints.
User IDs are automatically deleted when the public key is revoked - this can be done by uploading the revocation certificate generated by your client software at key creation time.
Fingerprints are pseudonymised data that may be retained in order to prevent resubmission of deleted User IDs.
- IP addresses
- Your IP address is an identifier assigned by your Internet Service Provider to the computer you are using, and enables information to be delivered correctly across the Internet.
IP addresses used to access this server may be retained for a short period of time (typically a few days) in order to help improve site reliability.
The OpenPGP Standard
OpenPGP is an End-to-End encryption standard.
It allows emails, files and other data to be encrypted so that they cannot be read by a third party,
and/or signed so that they cannot be modified, while in transit between the sender and recipient.
